Acrobatics

Acro dance is a dynamic style that combines classical dance technique with precise acrobatic elements. It is characterised by its athletic movement quality and unique choreography, seamlessly blending dance and acrobatics within a performance-based context.

At Studio Blue Dance, we follow the internationally recognised Acrobatic Arts syllabus, which places a strong emphasis on safe progressions, correct technique, and injury prevention. Our trained instructors guide students through structured skill development, ensuring strength, flexibility, control, and confidence are built safely and effectively.

Acro dance is best trained as a complementary style, and we recommend pairing Acro classes with additional training such as Classical Ballet, Jazz, or Contemporary to support overall technique and enhance each dancer’s development.

Classes are offered for dancers from 4 years and up.

If you are unsure about class placement for your student, please enquire with our team — we are committed to finding the most suitable class to support their learning and progress.
