Kaitlyn

Certified Acrobatic Arts Instructor

Hi! I’m Kaitlyn Knapp and I’m passionate about teaching acrobatics to dancers! I bring this expertise to Springfield and Woodstock Vermont. My qualifications include an Interdisciplinary Bachelor of Arts degree in Business and Dance, 15 years of experience teaching children ages 3-18, and I hold a module 2 certification through Acrobatic Arts!

​

What exactly is AcroDance?

​

Acrobatic Dance, or acro as it is commonly referred to by dancers and dance professionals, is the beautiful fusion of classic dance technique and the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements. Often defined by unique choreography, acro dancers seamlessly blend musicality, emotional expression, line and extension with acrobatic movements in a dance context.

​

Acro technique includes balancing, limbering, tumbling and partnering, based in flexibility, contortion and strength. In my classes we spend our time moving through the thoughtful acro progressions presented in the Acrobatic Arts curriculum. These progressions safely take the beginner level student from log rolls and somersaults to the advanced level performer tumbling across the stage!

​

Dancers who train through the Acrobatic Arts Curriculum have balanced development, are stronger, more flexible, and fearless!

If you’re looking for safe and effective acrobatics training for your dancer, contact me, I look forward to working with you!
