ACROBATICS (ACRO)

Acro is one of the most demanding and rewarding disciplines we offer at Fierce Academy — and one of our most popular. This class combines classical dance technique with acrobatic skills including tumbling, balancing, flexibility work, and partner elements to create dancers who are as athletic as they are artistic.

Open to all Fierce Academy company levels and recreational dancers, Acro builds the kind of physical strength and body control that elevates every other style of dance. The skills developed in Acro — core stability, spatial awareness, body discipline — show up in every class, every rehearsal, and every performance.

Skills developed in this class:

• Cartwheels, walkovers, and aerial progressions
• Backbends and contortion flexibility
• Handstands and balancing skills
• Partner and group acrobatic elements (advanced levels)
• Strength, stamina, and body control

A note on safety:

Acro at Fierce Academy is taught with a strong emphasis on proper progressions and technique. Our instructors do not push dancers into skills before they have the physical foundation to execute them safely. Every new skill is built from the ground up.

What to wear:

Form-fitting athletic wear with full range of motion. Bare feet. Hair pulled back securely. No jewelry.
