Acrobatic Arts

Exciting news has arrived at Kandy’s! The studio has become an official qualified AcroPAD center, equipped with top-quality AcroPAD mats that enhance students’ strength and confidence while performing acrobatic tricks. These specially designed mats play an essential role in ensuring safety and support during Acro lessons, allowing students to explore their abilities without fear.

 

Whether a child has prior experience in acro or is just starting out, the Acro classes at Kandy’s welcome everyone. The supportive atmosphere among students creates a nurturing environment where everyone encourages each other to grow. This sense of community is one of the many things that makes Kandy’s a beloved place to learn and develop in the world of dance and acrobatics.

 

The Acrobatic Arts classes help boost children’s confidence, strength, and flexibility. Each week, students learn new skills that they can apply to their routines, preparing for performances in the Annual Shows. The benefits of these classes are numerous. Students gain awareness of their body positions, demonstrate control and elevation, and learn to respond creatively to music. They also develop essential skills such as coordination, movement dynamics, and expressive performance.

 

For the youngest dancers, the Infant Acro & Lyrical dance class focuses on basic acrobatic skills, including rolls, cartwheels, and balancing techniques. By using props, instructors help children understand body placement and movement. Following the Acrobatic Arts syllabus, students explore various moves while keeping the process fun and engaging. The Lyrical dance part of the class emphasizes fluidity and grace, allowing children to flow seamlessly from one movement to another, further building their confidence, strength, and flexibility.

 

For older students aged nine and above, the Junior Acro class offers an opportunity to continue developing acrobatic skills while increasing the complexity of movements. These classes follow the Acrobatic Arts syllabus, allowing students to combine basic steps into combinations and tackle more challenging skills. As they focus on strength and flexibility, students learn advanced techniques such as one-handed cartwheels, aerial cartwheels, handsprings, and more. This progression not only fosters physical growth but also nurtures their ability to hold acro skills for longer periods.

 

Kandy’s Acrobatic Arts classes provide an incredible opportunity for children to explore the world of acrobatics while building confidence, strength, and flexibility. With the support of quality AcroPAD mats and a nurturing environment, students of all ages can thrive. The combination of fun, skill development, and community makes these classes a perfect choice for young performers eager to express themselves through movement. Joining the Acro classes at Kandy’s is a fantastic step toward discovering the joy and artistry of acrobatic dance.
