Acro

We are excited to offer Acro Level 4 this year, which is an introductory class. Acro is short for "acrobatics", and it uses strength and flexibility to perfrom gymnastic-based tricks. This Beginner Acro class will focus on safety, flexibility, strength, beginning and finishing positions, and proper body, foot, and leg positions. Skills we will work towards will include splits, bridges, forward rolls, handstands, cartwheels, round offs and starting walkovers. 

Most students will not arrive with the strength and flexibility needed to begin the skills, so the first few months of this class will focus heavily on conditioning exercises for flexibility, balance, strength, and coordination so that they will be able to safely move into learning the basic skills above the second half of the year.

Hip Hop
Project

Hip Hop

This style of dance was born in the Bronx in the late 1970s, and had gone global by the 1980s. The namae came from "hip" meaning "trendy", and literally "hopping" to the rhythm of the music, which was usually rap music. Contrary to popular opinion, you CAN have Christian Hip Hop!  There has been an explosion of songs in the genres of Christian rap and Hip Hop music, and it is possible to develope choreography that is God-honoring! 

Because the body isolations and movements require a higher level of body awareness, this class is for ages 10 and up. So we invite you to join this style of dance that truly explores feeling the beat of the music!

The Rose Bush

The Rose Bush By Diane Faison-McKinzie Having moved into my new home, I walked the unfamiliar yard and came across a very old rose bush. It looked pretty sad, and parts of its branches were nearing death. I could tell it had lived a long life and was struggling for breath. As I became familiar...
