Teen Jazz & Acro (Gr. 7–12) • Register • View Cart •

This dynamic class is designed for teens who want to move with power, precision, and expression. Blending the sharp, expressive style of jazz dance with the athleticism of acrobatics, Teen Jazz & Acro offers a high-energy experience that builds both technical skill and physical confidence.

Classes begin with a full-body warm-up, followed by stretching and conditioning to develop flexibility, strength, and control. These are essential foundations for both dance and tumbling. Jazz combinations focus on style, musicality, and performance quality, while the acro portion emphasizes strength, balance, and safe technique as students learn skills such as cartwheels, walkovers, aerials, and handsprings, based on individual readiness and experience.

This class is perfect for teen dancers looking to push themselves creatively and physically in a supportive, fast-paced environment. Whether students are new to jazz and acro or looking to refine existing skills, they will be challenged, inspired, and encouraged every step of the way.
