Acrobatics
Acrobatics training teaches flexibility, balance, strength, muscle control, discipline and concentration as well as spatial awareness. The high degree of discipline and concentration required for acrobatics carries over to many aspects of a student’s life, including academics and other athletic performance. Acrobatics provides the foundations for further gymnastic skills but most importantly it shares in the benefits of working within a team environment. It:
- Enhances balance, coordination, and agility
