Acrobatics and Gymnastics Classes for Children in Poole and Parkstone
If your child has ever cartwheeled across the living room, balanced on the arm of the sofa or asked to try a handstand for the hundredth time, they are going to absolutely love what we have created for them here.
Our acrobatics and gymnastics classes in Poole are exhilarating, energetic and deeply rewarding. Your child will be immersed in a programme that takes them on a journey of real, visible progression under the guidance of teachers who are passionate, professional and genuinely warm.
The Acrobatic Arts Programme
We run our classes under the internationally recognised Acrobatic Arts programme, which is the gold standard for acrobatic dance training. Developed with input from professionals across ballet, modern dance, jazz, contortion, artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, sport acrobatics, yoga, acro yoga, pilates, physiotherapy and hand balancing, it is one of the most comprehensive and carefully designed programmes available anywhere in the world.
Every progression is safe and structured, with proven results across five divisions of AcroDance:
- Flexibility
- Strength
- Balancing
- Limbering
- Tumbling
Simple, thoughtful progressions take your child from their very first log rolls and forward rolls all the way through to tumbling confidently across the stage. The journey is as exciting as the destination.
Skills and Movements
As your child progresses through the programme, they will work towards a range of movements including back bends, walkovers, chest rolls, chest stands, shoulder stands, handstands, cartwheels, round-offs, splits, fishtails, hand walking and much more. Every new achievement is celebrated, because at Unite Stage Academy every step forward matters.
Beyond the physical skills, your child will gain so much more:
- Physical strength, flexibility and body awareness
- Coordination and spatial awareness
- Resilience and a growth mindset
- The confidence that comes from achieving something they never thought they could
- Strong, lasting friendships built through shared challenges and shared celebrations
Daughter absolutely loves going to acrobatics here. She is a shy, nervous girl but the teachers are so warm and friendly that she was put at ease quickly. It was lovely to see her feeling confident about the class after only a few lessons.
