Our goal is to motivate and inspire students to gain a depth of knowledge that will help them become the dancer and person they are meant to be. Through a supportive and engaging environment, students develop discipline, confidence, artistry, and resilience while building lasting friendships. We celebrate individual growth and foster a lifelong appreciation for movement, creativity, and the transformative power of dance in everyday life.
Nebraska Acro Arts
Our Acro programs provide an exciting, safe environment to learn new skills while building strength, flexibility, and body awareness. Acro enhances balance and agility, promoting proper posture and coordination. These classes are also great cross-training for athletes and dancers.Acro is not gymnastics. There are some similar elements as tumbling and gymnastics, but Acro focuses on the use of control and detailed muscle memory to achieve each skill. While gymnastics uses equipment, Acro uses props or dance to move in and out of skills. Acrobatic dancers take additional dance classes to learn the basics and gain a comprehensive understanding of the skills.Our school is certified in Acrobatic Arts and uses this curriculum to ensure safe progressions of training for our dancers.
