Welcome to WEST

Acro dance, derived from (Acrobatics) is a dance form that can be seen through the mastery and artistic prowess of “Cirque de Soleil.” These elements of gymnastic style tricks combined with the fluidity of dance and motion help to create what we understand to be “Acro” movement. Acro builds a great degree of strength and flexibility in the dancer, while bringing new challenges with each new “trick” learned. Students of Acro will begin their training with basic sommersaults, cartwheels, and head stands, and will progress to more challenging vocabulary such as round offs, hand stands and partner lifts to include double cartwheels, and various other partnering techniques to increase their knowledge of working with other bodies while discovering the power of their own.
