Nebraska Acro Arts
ARTISTRY MEETS ATHLETICISM
Our Classes
Foundational Acro
Foundational acro is included within the Pre-K and Foundational Dance programs at Nebraska School of Performing Arts. Young students are introduced to basic coordination, flexibility, balance, strength, and body awareness through age-appropriate acrobatic movement and creative exploration.
Classes focus on building confidence, listening skills, safe movement habits, and strong physical foundations in a fun and encouraging environment. Students learn introductory skills such as rolls, bridges, balancing, jumps, and basic tumbling concepts while developing classroom structure and teamwork.
By incorporating acro into early dance education, students build the strength, flexibility, and coordination that support future success in dance, acro, gymnastics, and athletic activities.
Acro Classes
Our acro program offers structured training from beginner through advanced levels, allowing students to progress safely through flexibility, balancing, limbering, and tumbling skills. Each class follows proper progressions designed to develop both athletic ability and artistry.
Beginning students may work on skills such as forward rolls, bridges, cartwheels, handstands, and walkovers, while intermediate and advanced students continue into front and back limbers, aerials, handsprings, partner work, and advanced flexibility elements. Strength, conditioning, and technique are emphasized at every level.
Students also have opportunities to participate in showcases, performances, specialty choreography, and Acro Team programs, helping them grow as both athletes and performers while building confidence, discipline, and teamwork.
Rhythmic Gymnastics
Our Rhythmic Gymnastics program combines dance, flexibility, acrobatics, and apparatus work into a unique and artistic athletic experience. Students learn to perform movements with music while working with ribbon, ball, hoop, and other rhythmic apparatus as they progress through the program.
Rhythmic gymnasts develop flexibility, coordination, strength, balance, leaps, turns, and performance quality while also training foundational acro skills. Athletes learn how to blend apparatus handling with expressive movement and technical precision.
This program encourages creativity and artistry while helping students build confidence, discipline, and strong athletic foundations in a supportive and inspiring environment.
Acro Program Opportunities
Acro offers students a wide variety of opportunities both inside and outside the studio. Students may participate in performances, showcases, competitions, workshops, leadership programs, and specialty teams while developing advanced technical and artistic skills. Acro training can complement dance, gymnastics, cheer, theater, and athletic performance, while also helping students build confidence, teamwork, discipline, and lasting friendships through shared experiences and performance opportunities.
