At Playhouse Stage Academy, our Acro class (sometimes called “acro-tumbling”) combines the artistic lines of dance with the athletic thrill of acrobatics and tumbling. It’s perfect for dancers who love to move, flip, stretch—and perform. 

All levels: beginners with no prior tumbling experience are welcome, as are more advanced dancers who want to refine and expand their acro-tumbling repertoire.

In our Acro class students will work on:

Safe warm-up, stretching and conditioning specific to acro/tumbling.

Basic tumbling fundamentals such as forward rolls, cartwheels, handstands, bridges. Progressions into walk-overs (front/back), round-offs, back handsprings, aerials, etc!
