Class Experience

This Beginner Stretch, Flexibility, and Acro Class is perfect for beginner acrobats, dancers, gymnasts, ice skaters, cheerleaders, and other athletes interested in acrobatics and floor tricks. This class also caters to those with busy schedules, that do not fit into the current time offerings for live class meetings, or who simply do not prefer to take live classes. Self-Paced classes allow students to take class anytime of the day or night, at the most convenient time for their schedules. 

The class will focus on increasing flexibility, and learning beginner, fundamental acro skills. 

**Although this class is for beginners, it is strongly encouraged that students have a the flexibility and strength to perform a bridge to safely participate in this class**

Lesson Overview:
All lessons will be approximately between 10-15 minutes long (excluding stretching: 40-45 minutes WITH stretching), and will cover an acro skill/floor trick each week. When possible, each week's skill will include variations ranging from easier, to more difficult. This is put in place in order to challenge students, and cater to a wide range of skill levels. Students are encouraged to refer to one of our 30 minute warm up and stretch videos before beginning the acro video. These two segments of class are filmed separately for the instance in which a learner and parent are interested only in the acro component of this class.

While there will be no required homework, athletes are always encouraged to post videos and pictures in our classroom page to showcase their progress and accomplishments. Learners are always welcome to message me for feedback on any given skill they are looking to improve.
