Class Descriptions

This class is suited for ages 2.5-5 yrs old and is 45 minutes in length. (We offer this class in full term and 8 week sessions.)

 

Acro Dance (This class is for Minis, Jr., Inter., Sr.,)

Acro is a combination of the two disciplines dance and gymnastics. Each class focuses on strength, flexibility, skills and choreography across a variety of dance styles such as jazz, hip hop and lyrical. With the use of specialized equipment, we will create fun and challenging circuits that will help our students develop skills in Acro. The safety of our classes and students is our primary focus at Body Lines Dance and Fitness. To facilitate this safe learning environment, all of our Acro instructors are certified and therefore employ the safest spotting and training techniques. This class ranges from 45 minutes to 60 minutes in length (depending on age of child) and is offered for children 5-12 years of age.

Acro Theatre

This is the newest addition to the Body Lines schedule.  This class will focus on the basics of acro combined with dance, drama and song in order to create an acrobatic Broadway performance.  The technique of acro that is taught in this class is beneficial to providing your child with strength and flexibility which will not only improve their dance but help them with every day activities.  The drama section will help improve their confidence as they will become performers and get a taste of what it would feel like to be an actor or the star in a Broadway show. This class is suited for children ages 6-12 years old.

Drop in Acro Technique

This class is for those looking to achieve a specific skill or gain strength and flexibility in order to further them in acrobatics.  Each week we will work on a variety of skills such as walkovers, handstands, aerials, front aerials and more!  Each child will work at his or her own skill level.  The teachers will use a variety of gymnastic equipment and set up drills which will help the children achieve their goals.  This class also includes specific sports conditioning and assisted stretching which will also help each child advance.  All instructors are certified in gymnastics and fitness and as well as have experience with rehabilitation and injury prevention.  Some experience required.  (Ex. acro dance, gymnastics, rhythmic etc.)  Ages 6-17yrs old.

Teen Acro Dance

Our teen acro class is structured to suit beginners and dancers with some experience by allowing them to work at their own ability while using specialized acro equipment to help achieve their individual goals. The conditioning and stretching throughout the class will improve flexibility and strength not only for their acro skills but for their other dance styles, sports, and even daily activities. The teacher will introduce a variety of combinations, to different types of music, to ensure a good challenge and to keep them on their toes. Ages 13-16 years old.
