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.
Acro has fast gained popularity from productions such as Cirque de Soleil and TV shows such as So You Think You Can Dance and Dance Moms, which has shown a mix of contemporary dancing and acrobatic skills.
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. We are not a competitive dance school in a typical form – we prefer to teach children that learning a new skill is something to be enjoyed, and we do not put pressure on anyone to try out for competition teams. However, we will have some exciting new opportunities in 2020, including a new space dedicated to training our competition and performance teams.
Geelong Dance Movement are also proud to provide READY SET DANCE and READY SET BALLET classes for students aged 2 – 5 years. As seen on Nickelodeon, these classes are fun, high energy, engaging and entertaining.
Our kids acrobatics classes are an excellent add on to dance or circus classes, working on the core skills your child will need for an agile body that moves with grace. Students will develop excellent gross motor skills and core strength along with impressive flexibility.
Join in our Acro class and you'll be basing, flying and balancing in no time! You'll build up strength, coordination and confidence in this partner based class. No need to have a partner before you start, come along and we'll pair you up.
These classes are split into ability levels and determined by the skill of the dancer. Starting levels will be assessed by the our qualified Acrobatic Arts teacher in the first week of classes.
These classes are open to students from 5 years and up. Students must be enrolled in a ballet and/or jazz class to be eligible to enroll for the acrodance classes. New students to this type of class will need to register for the foundation class.
Students participating in Acro Dance must also be enrolled in jazz and/or ballet classes as it compliments these styles and develops a stronger dancer and enables safe dance technique.
