Acrobatics

Focus on flexibility, strength, limbering, balancing, and tumbling

Rhythms In Motion Dance Studio is the ONLY studio in Beaver County to be certified!

* It is important to note, your child is not locked into the same level all year. Our acrobatics program is designed to support progression through all levels. This will keep students motivated and goal oriented. We will also have rotating stations for limbering and tumbling to minimize student wait time during class. A typical class will start with cardio, then flexibility, followed by strength, limbering, and finish with tumbling as per the Acrobatic Arts’ syllabus. *

Our Rhythms In Motion Acrobatics and Dance Center opened in September 2017 and our students and parents absolutely love it! This newly remodeled 4,888 sq ft facility has a large dance studio space which allowed us to expand our schedule to include many new classes.

Our center also contains a huge acro gym for our Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced acrobatic classes. All acro classes put safety at the forefront of everything that we do. Our instructors are certified through Acrobatic Arts. Acrobatic Arts’ training program is designed to teach dance educators how to safely and effectively instruct AcroDance in the dance studio. Dance teachers must learn how to spot safely and effectively in order to become certified. Rhythms In Motion Dance Studio is currently 1 of only 21 dance studios in Pennsylvania (and the ONLY studio in Beaver County) to be certified!
