You are invited to try Acro Dance

Our Acro Dance classes promote co-ordination and stamina and contain exercises to strengthen, extend and loosen the body and increase flexibility.   Acro Dance is an art form specifically designed for dancers. Acro has softer, more lyrical-looking lines than floor gymnastics, with emphasis on lengthening “through” the tricks and holding beautiful balances with interesting variations.

 

The focus is on seamlessly blending acrobatics with dance, and avoiding obvious preparations before each trick. With the added element of Acro, students can learn acrobatics to add into their dance routines, starting with simple stretches and balances working towards more advance moves and tumbling as they progress. 

 

We follow the Acrobatic Arts and BBO Acro Dancer syllabuses, are fully certified in teaching Acro dance and we are an official AcroPad centre so we can always offer the best to our students.

I could not recommend Pata enough. My daughter has been going since pre school and has loved every moment and created a real passion. It is a great place to learn new performing skills but on another level, the kids build character, make amazing friendships and develop who they are. Miss Becky and Miss Zoe are great teachers and run an amazing school.
