TUMBLING / ACRO 

More Tumbling Info

We are excited to bring back our Tumbling Program for Dancers!  HYPE Dance Studio is offering additional training with acro skills that dancers can incorporate into their routines.  We are noticing a big merge of acro into dance and want to offer this opportunity to our students!  They love to tumble, and this will be a fun new adventure for anyone who wants to join the classes!
