THE ACROBATIC SECRETS OF CIRQUE DU SOLEIL REVEALED
Cirque Du Soleil exemplifies the acrobatic finesse of dancer and gymnast in a seemingly effortless series of lifts, aerials, air steps, somersaults, knee–drops, splits, butterflies, cartwheels, flips and spins. From its Italian roots in Adagio, Acro reaches beyond the traditional combination of steps done to slow music.
Today, this thrilling performing art form requires extensive training in proper technique, but is one of the most entertaining to watch.
A combination of dance and gymnastics, The Woodbridge School of Dance’s Acro lessons target the artistic and controlled use of movement, strength, agility, balance and flexibility. Students will learn the key techniques to execute accurate movements and assure safety. Students who wish to enroll in Acro must attend an additional ballet and/or jazz class to keep pace with the physical requirements of the program.
Age Requirement: For children 6 years and older
