Why Acro Dance Is Your Secret Weapon for Better Dance Training
Mathew Ward • April 20, 2026

If your child already loves jazz, ballet, contemporary, or street dance, adding Acro Dance to their training could be the single best thing you do for their development as a dancer.


Acro builds the core strength, flexibility, balance, and body awareness that every dance style demands, but that regular classes don’t always have time to develop deeply. Think of it as cross-training for dancers: the upper-body and core conditioning needed for cartwheels, walkovers, and handstands directly translates into stronger turns, higher leaps, more controlled extensions, and a stage presence that commands attention. It also helps prevent injuries by building the kind of functional strength and mobility that protects growing bodies.


In short, Acro doesn’t replace your child’s other classes - it supercharges them.

Stronger. More flexible. More confident. Here’s how Acro makes your dancer unstoppable.

Beyond the physical benefits, Acro builds something just as important: resilience and confidence. Learning to master a back walkover or hold a steady handstand takes patience, persistence, and courage - qualities that carry over into every performance and audition.


Kids who train in Acro develop a “I can do hard things” mindset that shows up across all their dance styles and beyond the studio. And because Acro is genuinely fun - where else do you get to flip, tumble, and defy gravity?- it keeps dancers excited and motivated to train.

At All That Jazz, we believe every step in the studio leads to something greater, and on 15 March 2026, the Trinity College London Award Presentation and Conferment Ceremony was the ultimate standing ovation for our dancers’ hard work. This ceremony honours students who achieved exceptional results in their 2024 Trinity College London dance exams in Singapore. Seeing our dancers among the honourees isn’t just a win for the school; it’s a testament to the dedication, discipline, and pure love of movement that fills our studios every day. Trinity College London qualifications are world-renowned, assessing dancers on much more than just hitting the right notes or steps: they look for musicality, performance flair, and that intangible "spark" of artistry. While earning a Distinction is a massive feat, being named a Top Distinction Holder is truly extraordinary. We are proud to congratulate the following All That Jazz students invited to take the stage at this year’s ceremony: Adalei Walsh, Hailey Rae Rodrigues, Honor Ward, Lexie Teo, Luiza Fichtner, Mica Teah, Natalie Mo, Renee Wong, Sarah Wee, and Tricia Yeo. These dancers did not just pass an exam; they commanded the floor. Their success reflects the resilience it takes to train as a dancer and the courage to perform with confidence under the scrutiny of assessment.
