Acro Level Sample Skills
This is a structured, progression based curriculum, developing a wide range of skills to advance dancers towards numerous end goals. Mastery of single, specific skills (beginner, intermediate or advanced) does not advance dancers to that level. If you have questions on level placement for your dancer, please contact JDC. Acro instructors reserve the right to adjust class levels as necessary.
