Acro
Acro is an especially challenging dance style for dancers as it requires them to be trained in both dance and acrobatic skills. Acro dancers must be in excellent physical condition as well, because acro is a physically demanding activity. Acro is a very popular dance style at Dance Inc. Students learn basic to advanced skills as well as stunts. Dance Inc. offers excellent facilities and qulaified acrobatic teachers.
Performance Troupe
This class requires students to have a strong technique and a commitment to hard work and good attendance. Dance Inc. holds an annual audition class to try-out for the Performance Troupes. A variety of Sydney’s BEST choreographs will be taking this class. I believe the diversity of styles from each of the choreographers helps us create routines that are unique and funky and exclusive to the Dance Inc. Studio.
