In this mixed level Acrobatic Dance class, students will learn variations of rolls, handstands, cartwheels, and walkovers. These skills are then incorporated into dynamic modern dance phrases. Each class students are introduced to new ideas conceptually, physically, and creatively.

Objectives include developing strength and articulation of the body necessary to execute safe and expressive acrobatic movement. The classroom environment remains open for expression, exploration, and discussion while maintaining clear behavioral boundaries.

Through various exercises and games, we inspire students to develop an organized relationship with their body both upside down and upright.
