Acrobatics is gymnastics for dance. Students will use dance techniques mixed with precision acrobatic elements. Students will learn such skills as handstands, chin stands, elbow stands, cartwheels, back bends, walkovers, balance, & contortion tricks. Acro is not the typical tumbling or gymnastics class. This class is great for students looking to enhance their agility, flexibility, & strength. MATS: Diamond Dance Works utilizes what is called a sprung dance floor. This surface is made up of foam, plywood, and vinyl ensuring the necessary cushion for the dancer's safety. Initially when classes start in the beginning of the year, you may see the use of some mats that you would recognize from a gymnastics gym. Gymnastics gyms use these for 'power tumbling, barre, and beam', which is different than the 'dance acro' in which we are teaching at the studio. As instructors see improvement in the class they will slowly remove the use of the mats. Once the mats are removed it is common to see some small bruising from practicing their acro skills. This is common to this type of dance and nothing to be worried about. Our dancer's safety is the number one priority in every single class that we offer, which is why we require specific equipment for certain classes. We must remember the dancers are using their bodies to jump, leap, roll, stretch, and move in new ways, and the inherent physicality of dance does pose the potential for injury, just like any other sport like football or soccer, etc.
