Students develop strength, flexibility and controlled tumbling skills while also learning how to move with precision, timing and confidence.

Acro Dance at Ultraflex is not gymnastics — it is acrobatic training rooted in dance principles, ensuring skills are strong, controlled and performance-ready.

Students may take Acro Dance as a standalone class or alongside our FREEstyle™ programme.

• Weight-bearing and hand support exercises
• Simple dance steps and rhythm patterns

At this stage, children learn how to transition between dance movement and introductory acro skills, preparing them for future performances.

No prior dance experience is required.

 

Rising Stars Acro (Approx. 7–9 Years)

Strength and technique begin to develop more clearly.

Students work on:

• Stronger cartwheels

Who Is Acro Dance For?

Acro Dance is ideal for:

• Dancers wishing to improve flexibility and explore tumbling to enhance flow and performance quality
• Students with an interest in acrobatics and controlled flexibility training
• Former gymnastics students who enjoy both dance and acrobatic movement
• Students looking to combine strength, control and artistry

Acro Dance blends acrobatic technique with dance principles. While there are similarities to gymnastics, the focus differs.

​

Acro Dance skills are designed to flow seamlessly into choreography and are performed with musical timing and controlled transitions, often on non-sprung stage surfaces.

Students training competitively in gymnastics should be aware that acro technique and competition gymnastics technique can differ in entry, landing and transition style.

Our programme focuses on safe progression, control and performance integration.
