Clase avanzada de estiramiento y flexibilidad + trucos de suelo y acrobacia - FLEX

This Advanced Stretch, Flexibility, and Acro Class is perfect for experienced 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. Flex 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 advanced acro skills.

Lesson Overview:
All lessons will be approximately 15-25 minutes long (excluding stretching - stretching will add another 30 minutes), and will cover a 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 3, 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.

All class material and content for the upcoming week will be uploaded by Monday at 8:00 AM EST for students to begin practicing the content of the lesson, and working on this week's skills and conditioning.
