Acrobatic Dance, or Acro as it is known by dancers, is the fusion of dance technique with the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements, such as balancing, limbering, tumbling and partnering based on flexibility, contortion and strength.

At GDM, we believe in letting all our students shine in class, and give everyone a turn to be front and centre. We believe every student has something to give and we allow students to learn in a safe space.
GDM provides children with an opportunity to make new friends while learning in a professional environment.
