Acro is a new stylized form of dance that teaches tricks executed on a hard dance surface unlike traditional gymnastics, which are executed on sprung mats. Acro incorporates elements of tumbling, balance, strength, flexibility and cardio.
When these skills are combined with a strong technical dance foundation dancers will learn how to do tricks like handstands, cartwheels, and more advanced tricks that can be incorporated in dance choreography.

With a focus on the development of strong technique, creativity and stage presence young dancers will be given the opportunity to thrive in an atmosphere of discipline, support and inclusion.
We focus on providing an age-appropriate dance experience that allows children to be kids while still providing exceptional technical training. Our choreography, costume and music choices will always reflect age-appropriate themes and content.

Creativity:
Our school goes above and beyond the training you will find at any comparable studio. Each student is of equal importance to us and we wish to help all students achieve their personal best.
Dance is at the foundation of what we teach but the lessons taught involve much more. We train dancers who are both technically strong performers as well as creative artists, compassionate peers and confident leaders.

All of our Acro classes are based on the Acrobatic Arts syllabus and taught by Certified Acrobatic Arts teachers.
We teach Acrobatique Arts syllabus in regular classes and also have a certified gymnastics coach at Dance Essence. This brings the best of both worlds to our studio and enables dancers to learn many techniques safely.
