Pulse Dance Works Inc. is an ACROBATICS ARTS certified dance school. Although physically demanding, Acrobatics is a very fun, rewarding and visually stunning gymnastics/dance discipline also known as "AcroDance". AcroDance is the beautiful fusion of the artistic motion of dance and the athleticism of Acrobatics.

Our classes focus on the flexibility of the back and legs as well as full body strength. Learn to do a variety of acrobatic tricks and flips. Our Acrobatics program follows the structured and progressional levels of the "Acrobatic Arts" syllabus to properly train dancers' bodies to advance to the next level only when they are ready for it. This greatly reduces the potential for injury, creates more technically correct work, and helps dancers to progress more quickly (in the long run).

Advanced acrobats will work on tumbling such as walkovers, aerials, forward and backward handsprings etc., once they have mastered the necessary skill level requirements set out by the Acrobatic Arts syllabus.
