Acro-Tumbling

Acro-Tumbling, also known as Acrobatics, is a style of tumbling that emphasizes strength, flexibility, agility, and grace while executing tumbling skills. Students will begin with basic tumbles such as rolls, cartwheels, hand balances, bridges, & kick overs. Once the basics are mastered, students move on to limbers, walkovers, and handsprings. Acrobatic skills such as chest stands, elbow stands, bridge walks, & inside outs will also be explored based on skill level. Students will progress through the skills by teacher assessment on an individual basis.

 

Aerial Hammock & Lyra

This class is a form of aerial acrobatics that involves performing movements and poses on a suspended apparatus. Aerial hammock is one continuous loop of fabric that can be adjusted to different heights and configurations. Lyra, also known as Aerial Hoop, is a steel hoop that is suspended from the ceiling. The performer uses the apparatuses to support and create shapes, often incorporating flips, spins, and drops to create a visually stunning display of strength and grace.

 

Aerial Silks

Aerial Silks is a performance art that involves acrobatic movements while suspended in the air from fabric ribbons. Performers execute climbs, wraps, and poses on the silks while suspended in the air, creating a visually stunning and graceful display of strength and artistry. Aerial Silk classes are more difficult than aerial hammocks. If you are a beginner, we suggest starting with a hammock class to learn the basics and gain strength.
