Leap and Turns
The class focuses specifically on the dancers knowledge and execution on how to effectively produce a leap or turn. Across-the-floor progressions and turn combinations, will be utilized in the class to produce strong leaps, and skillful turners.
Acro II
Acro is the 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, while seamlessly integrating musicality, emotional expression, extension, and lines. Class will incorporate different aspects of cardio, handstands, balances, limbering, bridges, and tumbling.
