Acrobatics

Acrobatics focuses on developing strength, flexibility, cardiovascular endurance and acrobatic skill through a number of exercises, stretches and circuits. It is fun but challenging and highly recommended for any dancer wanting to improve their skills, technique and fitness.

Students are able to work at their individual skill level. Within one class, students may be at different skill levels within reason. Students progress at different paces. They work steadily at certain skills until they are achieved: Flexibility, Strength, Balancing Skills, Limbering Skills & Tumbling. Our Acrobatic Arts certified teachers are trained to challenge every student adequately.

Students will have their level checked & assessed during their first lesson to confirm class placement.

Aerial

Aerial (including lyra, silks & hammock) is a fun skills-based class. 
This class is a combination of skill acquisition and fitness workout. Aerial hammock lets you enjoy all the freedom of soaring on the silks with the support of a looped silk to hold you tight and close. Aerial lyra (hoop) & silks allows those strong enough and ready to advance their skills to move to a new apparatus. Feel your whole body strengthen and discover a new level of core strength; you’ll be holding your weight in incredible inversions and graceful shapes and movements in no time!

Aerial classes are capped at very small numbers so that all students have access to equipment. We have 9x aerial rigging points at Jerrabomberra & 5x 6m aerial points at Queanbeyan. All rigging complies with Australian standards and is tested regularly.
