1st-2nd Grade Hip Hop A
Kennasyn Willet
Great for girls who want to have fun!!! Hip-hop teaches the street style dancing and is fun, basic coordination skills and movement. While it does not focus on the technique aspect of dance as much as our jazz classes, it is great for helping children learn to count music and put movement together with sound. We recommend Hip Hop for any girls who are interested in cheerleading!

Acro 4
Keri Thibodeaux
**This class is for students who can properly execute all the skills in Level 3, plus back and front walkovers. Dancers at this level will begin working on linking multiple skills together and increasing difficulty in their acro sequences.
Acro Dance is a captivating fusion of dance and acrobatics that combines strength, flexibility, balance, and creativity.

This class focuses on building physical strength and coordination to master acrobatic tricks while seamlessly integrating them into dance choreography. Acro dancers will learn essential skills like cartwheels, walkovers, handsprings, and aerials, and then blend them with graceful, dance-like movements to create beautiful, dynamic routines.
The key to Acro is control—dancers not only work to perfect their acrobatic skills, but they also focus on smooth transitions, body alignment, and proper technique, ensuring their movements look polished and professional. Acro is perfect for dancers who want to challenge their bodies in new ways and add a thrilling, athletic dimension to their dance style.

Acro 5
Keri Thibodeaux
**This is our most advanced acro level where students can properly execute a standing back handspring, running side aerial, and round off with at least a single back handspring. Dancers will focus on combining acro skills with dance choreography for seamless, advanced performances.
Acro Dance is a captivating fusion of dance and acrobatics that combines strength, flexibility, balance, and creativity. Unlike traditional dance forms, acro incorporates elements of gymnastics and acrobatics such as backbends, handstands, flips, and tumbles into a fluid, dance-driven performance. This class focuses on building physical strength and coordination to master acrobatic tricks while seamlessly integrating them into dance choreography. Acro dancers will learn essential skills like cartwheels, walkovers, handsprings, and aerials, and then blend them with graceful, dance-like movements to create beautiful, dynamic routines.
The key to Acro is control—dancers not only work to perfect their acrobatic skills, but they also focus on smooth transitions, body alignment, and proper technique, ensuring their movements look polished and professional. Acro is perfect for dancers who want to challenge their bodies in new ways and add a thrilling, athletic dimension to their dance style.

Acro 1B
Canyon Royer
**This class is for students who are new to acro. Dancers at this level cannot yet perform a standup backbend and will focus on building strength and flexibility. No costume, no recital performance for this level.
Acro Dance is a captivating fusion of dance and acrobatics that combines strength, flexibility, balance, and creativity. Unlike traditional dance forms, acro incorporates elements of gymnastics and acrobatics such as backbends, handstands, flips, and tumbles into a fluid, dance-driven performance. This class focuses on building physical strength and coordination to master acrobatic tricks while seamlessly integrating them into dance choreography. Acro dancers will learn essential skills like cartwheels, walkovers, handsprings, and aerials, and then blend them with graceful, dance-like movements to create beautiful, dynamic routines.
The key to Acro is control—dancers not only work to perfect their acrobatic skills, but they also focus on smooth transitions, body alignment, and proper technique, ensuring their movements look polished and professional. Acro is perfect for dancers who want to challenge their bodies in new ways and add a thrilling, athletic dimension to their dance style.
