Acro Classes

Combine Dance and Acrobatics to Soar to New Heights

At DSPA, we offer acro classes that blend the beauty of dance with the strength and agility of acrobatics. Our acro program is designed to develop students’ flexibility, balance, and tumbling skills, while also incorporating artistic expression and choreography.

Why Choose DSPA Acro Classes?

•  Safe and Structured Training: Our acro classes follow a progressive curriculum that ensures the safe and gradual development of acrobatic skills. Our certified instructors prioritize proper technique, alignment, and conditioning to minimize the risk of injury and provide a supportive learning environment.

•  Flexibility and Strength: Acro classes focus on developing flexibility, strength, and control. Students will improve their range of motion through stretching exercises, enhance their core strength, and learn to execute acrobatic skills with precision and control. These skills will benefit dancers in various dance styles.

•  Tumbling and Tricks: Our acro classes incorporate tumbling skills, such as cartwheels, handstands, walkovers, and aerials. Students will learn progressions and drills to safely master these skills. As students progress, they will have the opportunity to explore more advanced tricks, including flips and aerial combinations.

•  Artistic Expression: Acro is not just about tricks; it’s about incorporating acrobatic elements into dance choreography. Our classes teach students how to seamlessly blend acrobatics with dance movements, enhancing their overall performance and artistic expression.

•  Performance Opportunities: We believe in the power of performance. Throughout the year, our acro students have the chance to showcase their skills and talent in our biannual shows, community events, and dance showcases. These performance experiences allow students to shine on stage and share their love for acro with others.

•  State-of-the-Art Facilities: Our dance studio is equipped with spacious, purpose-built dance studios that provide a safe and inspiring space for our acro classes. Our studios feature professional-grade flooring, mirrors, and sound systems to enhance the learning experience.

I have two daughters who dance at Dawson School Of Performing Arts, my eldest has danced for 8 yrs and my youngest started at our Twinkletoes and has danced with the school for 5 yrs. Dancing is their world and it’s all thanks to the dedicated, professional teachers who have taught them all their skills and technique that they know to date. Dawson School of Performing Arts isn’t just a dance school. It’s a dance family where every child is respected and also taught the love of dance and being part of a team. There is no teacher I wouldn’t be happy teaching my children and there is no other dance school I would want them to be part of. Miss Elin and her team are the best.

My daughter has been at the dance school for 5 years now and this will be her third year as part of the performance team. She has always had lovely teachers who make lessons fun as well as having high expectations of technique. She absolutely loves coming to dance and attends five days a week. They have put on amazing shows and attended numerous competitions all while ensuring the children are happy and enjoying themselves. Charlie also has singing lessons and attends musical theatre classes, all of which are helping to build confidence. The dance school feels like a family which we hope to be part of for years to come!

My daughter had her first taster class at DSPA in 2017.  Three years later she now participates in 13 classes a week, has private lessons and is a member of the performance team. She has been given so many amazing opportunities over the years and has made memories that she will never forget! The teachers are so committed and focus on bringing the best out of the children both in terms of their dance ability and their personal development. They care so much about them and go above and beyond to make sure that they not only reach their potential but also that they feel happy, safe and confident. The studios are my daughters second home and she absolutely loves every single lesson.

My daughter has been attending DSPA for a few years now and thoroughly enjoys it. There is a great atmosphere of support and encouragement at the school and a wonderful balance of having fun whilst learning and making progress. The students are taken through exams and assessments without feeling undue pressure and are encouraged to reach their potential. The teachers are kind and an inspiration to the children they teach. Most importantly my daughter loves going and dancing every week, staying fit and having fun! Mum of Jane, aged 8.

My daughter has been dancing with this amazing team of teachers since she was 3 years old. They have nurtured my daughters love for dancing and have encouraged her to try new things. DSPA provide such a wide variety of classes and the teachers are so creative. She loves all the different opportunities that she has experienced. They have been extremely supportive during the challenges we have faced with COVID this year through providing online lessons. The main thing is that my daughter loves it and loves the teachers. She leaves every lesson bouncing! Mum of Eloise, aged 9.

I cannot recommend this dance school highly enough. My daughter moved to this school 4 years ago and since then her confidence, technique and enjoyment have climbed from strength to strength. The teaching is exceptional, where teachers encourage and inspire the students and provide opportunities outside of the dance syllabus
