Acrobatics
AcroDance is a beautiful fusion of the artistic motion of dance and the athleticism of acrobatics. AcroDance is not the same as gymnastics. An AcroDancer must complete all of the skills on the hard stage without the advantage of a sprung floor, whilst seamlessly integrating musicality, emotional expression, extension, control and line.We are excited to announce All That Dance is now a certified studio in the Acrobatic Arts Program. The Acrobatic Arts program is designed to promote excellence in flexibility, strength, balance, limbering, tumbling, basic contortion, and partner/group stunting for dancers. Through thoughtful progressions, teachers will introduce new skills as the dancer has trained his/her body for the skill and is ready for it. This greatly reduces the potential for injuring, creates more technically correct work, and helps dancers to progress more quickly (in the long run). Students will work on both tumbling mats and the studio floor in class. It is highly encouraged that students take dance classes as well acrobatics classes. For safety reasons all students are also required to wear form fitting dance attire and hair must be in a bun or braids for class.

This style focuses heavily on muscial interpretation, expression and storytelling in order to portray a character.
