The Acrobatic Arts, commonly known as Acro, is a style of dance that combines acrobatic and gymnastic elements with dance technique. It is known for its athleticism and seamless blend of dance and acrobatic skills.

What are the benefits of practicing Acrobatic Arts?

Students learn how to perform in front of an audience, choreograph routines, build social skills and confidence in a fun environment.

Classes will work on improving tumbling skills and dance technique, as well as learning how to seamlessly transition in and out of connecting tumbling and dance skills.

Classes cover skills such as cartwheel and handstand variations, walkovers, leaps, turns, intricate floor-work, flexibility skills, and acro-partnering.

All 6 of my children have attended Cavod for many years. The values Cavod carries is valued by my family. Truly a hidden gem. Their technique in all the classes will not disappoint a growing dancer. Wouldn't choose another studio to call family.

My daughter is in her 6th year at Cavod and she has blossomed into a beautiful young women. Cavod has become her happy place and she has made lifelong friends here. She has grown not only technically but spiritually as well. She found her thing and a place to call home! When we moved to Lancaster and she had to switch schools I promised her no matter how far we moved I would never take Cavod away. And now my stepdaughter is enjoying it as well. Thank you for giving me a safe place to teach my children everything from dance to acting to loving and accepting others! And that they are special because of whose they are!
