Belinda Payne: Studio Owner Next Generation Dance Studio
This syllabus enables students to gradually build the strength they need to execute acrobatic tricks correctly and safely.
As a studio owner, I see a lot of young dancers trying tricks that they are not ready for. There are no shortcuts to Acro and the ADTA Acro Dance Syllabus teaches that everything must come from a place of strength to avoid injuries and get results.
This syllabus has taught myself and my Acro instructors how to safely teach Acro Dance at our studio.
The tricks do come and the ADTA Acro Dance syllabus got us there safely and effectively.
Melissa Ward - Studio Owner of Rhythm Dance Center
I would highly recommend the ADTA Acro Dance Curriculum to any studio either looking to start an Acro program or switch to a new syllabus. We have found our experience with the ADTA very rewarding, valuable, productive and safe.
As a studio director with limited acrobatic training I was looking to find a syllabus that offered proper training techniques to ensure safe practice in acro dance.
I was delighted to find the ADTA as it provides us with the tools to train our dancers safely and in a strong, consistent, progressive environment.
The syllabus is detailed, visual and informative which makes it easy to follow, and gives instructors confidence they are teaching and spotting tricks correctly.
Our dancers have grown in strength, control and overall performance from their Acro training. Today Acro Dance is an extremely essential element in order to take their dancing to new levels. The strength gained is incredible and it carries over to other aspects of their dancing.
