What will my child learn in an Acro/Gymnastics/Tricks Class with DDA?

This DDA specially made class is a super fun mix of Acrobatics, Gymnastics and Tricks. A fantastic way for children to develop their strength, flexibility, and coordination with progress charts to complete and skills to develop each year.

Classes consist of -

• Proper warm up techniques: It’s important for students to complete a proper warm-up to prevent injury and prepare their bodies for the physical demands of the class. Please don’t be late for class or students miss this vital part!
  
  
• Gymnastic skills: Students will learn skills such as forward rolls, backward rolls, cartwheels, bridges and handstands.
  
  
• Trick progression: As students become more advanced, they will learn more complex tricks such as aerials, back handsprings, and front flips.
  
  
• Acro combinations: Students will also learn how to combine different acro skills and tricks into seamless sequences to music that showcase their abilities.
  
• Partner work: Acro often involves partner work, so our classes include exercises to help students develop trust, communication, and teamwork skills.
  
  
• Conditioning exercises: All tricks require lots of strength, so our classes include exercises to improve students’ overall fitness and muscular endurance.
  
  
• Stretching and flexibility exercises: Acro and Gymnastics require a lot of flexibility, so our classes include exercises to improve students’ range of motion and help them perform tricks safely.
  
  
• Progress charts. Student are given progress charts with the skills they will be working towards.

Our acro classes combine the art of dance with the athleticism of gymnastics and tricks. We offer classes for children ages 3-16 who are interested in developing their skills in a fun and safe environment.

Our experienced and certified instructors use proven techniques to teach students proper form, technique, and skill progression. Our goal is to help each student reach their full potential while building their confidence and creativity. 

With the combination of gymnastics, tumbling and dance, these classes are a great way to work on confidence, coordination, flexibility and gymnastic skills. Tricks involve learning how to perform stunts such as flips and cartwheels, with focus on developing strength and flexibility, which are essential for both dance and acrobatics.
