Acro

Thursdays 5.30-6.30pm at Penarth Methodist Church *CLASS FULL – Waiting List Available*

Acro is a style of dance that combines classical dance technique with precision acrobatic elements. It is defined by its athletic character, its unique choreography, which seamlessly blends dance and acrobatics, and its use of acrobatics in a dance context. Acro is not to be confused with gymnastics; both artistic and rhythmic which are sports that employ dance elements in a gymnastics context under the rules of a governing gymnastics organisation.

Junior Advanced Acro runs Tuesdays 4.30-5.30pm at St Cyres School – by invitation only.

Ballet

Depending on the age and experience of the student – please contact us if unsure. We run to the ISTD classical ballet syllabus.
Technique learned in ballet is the foundation for all other styles of dance.
