Contortion/Hand Balancing

At Allison’s Dance Company, we offer a specialized class that goes beyond standard technique, allowing our students to develop unique and dazzling skills in the artistry of contortion and balance.

Class Schedule:

• Thursdays: 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM

This comprehensive class includes training in both Contortion and Hand Balancing:

Our Contortion focus is on the safe and proper manipulation of the body's flexibility. While some dancers are naturally more flexible, we believe that safety and education are the most important elements of this art form. We are dedicated to teaching correct technique, especially for those who are hyper-flexible, to prevent injury.

With so many resources available online, it’s easy for dancers to get hurt trying to learn advanced moves like backbends without proper instruction. At ADC, we train our students to maintain the correct form and stability, ensuring that their bodies can safely support deep bends and splits. Your child will learn to bend the right way and amaze audiences with their skills. Our contortion routines have a strong track record of success in competition, taking home many first-place awards, and are consistently some of the most memorable performances at our recitals.

Hand Balancing, a core component of acro training, is included to build the strength and control necessary for stability while inverted. Students will learn:

• Handstands
• Handstand Canes
• Balancing on various other implements

This rigorous training helps our dancers gain confidence and body awareness, which enhances their skills across all styles of dance.

 Tuition for this class is structured as follows:

• For students taking our Acro bundle, the monthly tuition is $40.
• Other students pay $75 monthly.
