Can your preschooler jump off of two feet, hop on one foot, skip, march, somersault, plank, sit in a pike with a straight back, and throw and catch a ball? These are all important developmental milestones, that in today’s world, many children are not able to do. Preschool Acro will give your child the tools they need to be physically fit, self aware, and coordinated, while teaching important social skills, like following directions and taking turns. This class is a great add-on class for dancers already taking Preschool 1 or 2. It is also a great class for non-dancers in-need of core strength and coordination.
