ACRO DANCE
CHEERLEADING
Cheerleading is a team-based sport that involves pyramids, tumbling, jumps, and dance. It was initially started in the USA, and now it's quickly growing in the UK. We use Pom Poms and Acro skills to make an exciting and energetic dance class. We focus on kicks, jumps, flexibility, and strong arm and body movements.
Classes are available for ages 4 and above.
CONTEMPORARY
Acro dance is a style of dance that combines classical dance techniques with precision acrobatic elements. It is defined by its athletic character, its unique choreography, which seamlessly blends dance and acrobatics, and its use of acrobatics in a dance context. We love Acro at OBDA and it has quickly become one of our most popular classes.
Classes are available for ages 4 and above.
