Kids tumbling, acro and hip hop class questions

When do the new classes start?
Both classes start Thursday, October 15. Mini Hip Hop/Tumble meets Thursdays from 4:30 to 5:00 PM, and Youth + Preteen Acro meets Thursdays from 6:15 to 7:00 PM.
Does my child need any experience?
No. Both classes are beginner-friendly. No dance, acro, tumbling or gymnastics experience is needed.
Is acro the same as gymnastics?
Acro combines dance with gymnastics-style tumbling skills such as rolls, bridges and cartwheel-style movement, along with flexibility, balance and strength. Florida Dance Gym is a dance and acrobatics studio rather than a competitive gymnastics gym, so classes are small and taught with dance and music in mind.
What skills will my child learn in acro?
Acro focuses on safe, progressive tumbling with proper technique and injury prevention. Depending on experience, dancers may work on handstands, cartwheels, walkovers, limbers, aerial progressions, front and back handsprings, side and front aerials, and connected tumbling passes.
What is the difference between acro and tumbling?
Tumbling focuses on floor-based skills and progressions. Acro is broader and also includes flexibility, balance, strength, transitions, and blending acrobatic skills into dance. Our acro classes include plenty of tumbling practice.
What should my child wear?
Mini Hip Hop/Tumble: baggy athletic clothing over fitted dancewear, with tan jazz shoes or black athletic sneakers worn only indoors. Youth + Preteen Acro: fitted athletic dancewear, barefoot or in foot undies (turning shoes). See our First Day of Dance guide for more. For both classes, hair should be secured away from the face.
Who teaches the classes?
Natasha Adams, owner and director of Florida Dance Gym. She started dancing at three and gymnastics at four, has trained in acro, hip hop and many other styles, and has coached acro and tumbling for young athletes for years. Meet the teachers.
