We are excited to be launching Acro Dance here at NHAPA. We are offering a series of 5 week sampler sessions this winter/spring for three age groups. No experience is required and each student will work at their individual pace on the skills they are ready to learn. We have also just published our summer acro programming (see below).
Acro dance will compliment current students that wish to invest time and effort into improving overall flexibility to start. From there, skills can be added. Acro dance has several benefits, including helping to improve a dancers strength, flexibility, control, balance, as well as help prevent injuries. Throughout the intro session of this course, the dancers will all begin to build on these essential areas with basic training techniques to create a good platform and prepare them for more advanced moves.
Registration for these sessions can be done through the NHAPA app - be sure to click the "SHOP" icon to choose the age group. Click here to download. |

Miss Alyssa is Acro Dance certified for Primary through level 6. This means she can properly execute each skill within each level and understands the progressions students need to take to accomplish each skill safety and correctly. Additionally, she has been trained in somatic theories, pilates, and yoga which has helped her develop a better understanding the structure of the body in order to properly execute movements and eliminate injuries.

SUMMER ACRO SESSION
|
Programs
Youth Acro: Ages 6-12 (New and Returning): For any dancer who has never taken Acrobatics before or has completed the Intro to Acro (5 week session). This first class is required to be taken by every student prior to advancing into additional acro classes. Through this class we will go over the basic rules and skills in acro, starting from primary level skills and advancing at each dancer's own pace as the class continues. All dancers ages 6+ are welcome. Beginner Acro: Must have already completed Intro to Acro (5 week session) or Youth Acro. This class works on refining key skills needed to advance. Dancers will still be able to grow at their own pace but are expected to be comfortable with handstands, cartwheels, bridges, and bridge variations to be at this level. Acro I: This class is by recommendation only. Dancers in this level already have key skills needed to progress into more advanced acrobatics. If you have completed the spring acro session and aren't sure what level is best for you, please email Alyssa at alyssa.m.vacca@gmail.com for a recommendation. |

Wednesday's Youth Acro from 5-6pm Beginner Acro from 6-7pm Acro I from 7-8pm Classes will meet on the following dates: 7/6, 7/13, 7,27, 8/10 & 8/17 Pricing is $80 for this session (Discounted pricing: based on a 4 week series vs. 5 in consideration that families may miss a week due to summer plans) Registration for these sessions can be done through the NHAPA app - be sure to click the "SHOP" icon to choose the age group.
