Grace Christian Dance Center is a certified Acrobatic Arts studio and uses their acclaimed, safety-based curriculum in all Acro-dance classes. This program follows a proven, progressive structure that develops the five core areas of acro-dance: flexibility, strength, balancing, limbering, and tumbling. Acro-dance is a beautiful fusion of classical dance technique with the athleticism and precision of acrobatic skills, giving dancers an exciting way to build strength and artistry.

Students progress at their own pace as they learn proper technique to safely master tumbling skills that integrate seamlessly into dance choreography. Along the way, dancers gain flexibility, balance, control, and confidence—skills that benefit them in every area of dance. All technique-based dance training is taught in Ballet and Company classes, while the acrobatic elements are taught in Acro-dance.

Acro-dancers naturally lose flexibility and strength during long breaks, so Acro-dance is offered year-round to support consistent progress. Dancers who take an extended break over the summer will need to retest the skills for their level, and dancers who take a full year off will restart in the Primary Level to ensure safe technique. All new Acro-dance students begin in the Primary class and move to Level 1 once all Primary skills have been mastered.

Students train under the direct supervision and spotting of our certified Acrobatic Arts instructors—Mrs. Black, Miss Autumn, or Miss Porcari—with student teachers assisting in non-tumbling portions of class.
