Acrobatic Dance or ‘Acro Dance’ for short, is a unique and exciting dance style that combines dance with gymnastic and acrobatic movements. Children learn impressive tumbling and limbering ‘tricks’ as they develop their strength, flexibility, balance, co-ordination and dance skills.
We recommend that children who are serious about Acro Dance take Ballet or Contemporary Modern classes also, which will aid and accelerate their progress in Acro Dance.

Pre-School Acro Dance (Acro Antics)
See our Pre-School dance page to read about our Acro Antics Pre-School classes – an exhilarating introduction to Acro Dance for ages 3-4.
Reception & Year 1 Acro Dance (Acro Antics)
Acro Antics is our very own Acro Dance programme, lovingly created here at Chloe May’s Dance Academy. These classes suit children who are full of beans, as they will learn to dance on their hands as well as their feet!
From cartwheels and handstands to gallops and splits, our classes teach the foundations of Acro Dance in an engaging and accessible way, incorporating fun choreography to popular music.
Each week children receive a sticker of a movement they have practised in class and these are collected to earn termly medals, rewarding their in-class progress. Our cute and cuddly mascot Acorn the Ant joins children in their classes to lend a helping hand.

Acrobatic Arts Acro
Acrobatic Arts is considered to be one of the safest and most effective syllabi for teaching Acro skills progressively up to advanced pre-professional levels.
Children learn more advanced tumbling and limbering movements such as front and back walk overs, handsprings, pop/hurdle cartwheels and round-offs which are then seamlessly integrated into dance routines.
The mastering of advanced Acro skills requires a high level of flexibility and strength – children will therefore need to develop the self-discipline and eagerness to practise at home.

What Our Parents Think
Don’t just take our word for it!
Excellent dance school, teachers and timetables to suit all. My two girls have been attending for both ballet and tap from ages 2 and 4. They look forward to their lessons every Saturday. Wonderful supportive teachers and lots of fun!
We love Chloe May’s Dance Academy. Always fun and learning new skills. Instructors are always helpful and approachable. Big smiles here 🙂
Friendly and welcoming. My daughter absolutely loves it here. Chloe is a brilliant teacher. I would definitely recommend.
Both of my children have been going to the academy for over a year now. My youngest son has suspected autism and I am amazed with how the academy fits him into his ballet class with so much patience and professionalism. My daughter gets excited before she goes to every lesson and aspires to be like the older dancers one day. I would definitely recommend the academy to any parent who would like their child to learn to dance in a loving, diverse, structured and professional environment.
My daughter has been coming to your Acro classes for a couple of years, and has done a several holiday camps. At today’s camp performance it was so lovely to see her confidence coming through. The co-ordination required for dance doesn’t come easily, but she loves to sing and dance, and today I could really see her hard work paying off. At the first camp she stood at the back, looking completely overwhelmed, and today she was really happy dancing along, and proud of herself. Thank you to all of the staff for your hard work, and for giving her the opportunity to take part.
Would recommend to anyone wanting to start dance lessons. My daughter has been attending for over 3 years. She has tried other places but loves the friendly teachers and different classes.
My daughter has attended Chloe May’s Dance Academy since it first opened and absolutely loves it. The dances are so much fun, especially with the use of little props and being able to dress up for special occasions. The Melody Bear dance charts are a great idea, a sticker every week to put on and reward badges to work towards. Chloe does an amazing job at keeping parents / guardians up to date and has continued to do so through such a difficult 12 months due to COVID. Have nothing but high praise.
Fab teacher, well organised and very friendly to the kids, my two love going.
Fabulous dance class for my daughter, she enjoys it very much and Chloe is amazing with the children.
We have taken our daughter to other dance classes in the past and nothing compares to Chloe May’s. She looks forward to going so much and really can’t wait to return. We would recommend to anyone.
My granddaughters love going to Chloe May’s Dance Academy! The teachers are friendly and welcoming. It is lovely seeing their skills and confidence grow.
The dance camps and shows are enjoyable for all.
My daughter absolutely loves going to Chloe May’s Dance Academy. She is really shy and clingy so I didn’t think she would would enjoy it. I was wrong! the dance teachers are great and patient and they really helped her settle into the classes. They do bigger and smaller performances, which you are not obliged to take part in. My daughter has loved doing them and it has helped so much with her shyness and has brought her out of her shell.
My daughter has been attending Chloe May’s Dance Academy for just over 4 years. She absolutely loves it and goes to Ballet, Tap and Acro classes. She has the opportunity to take exams and also dance in a show each year. I would highly recommend this dance academy!
