The ADTA Acro Dance Syllabus
The complete teacher’s resource for implementing a safe and effective Acro Dance program at your studio.
You want to start getting real results with your Acro Dance program – it’s time to stop limiting your potential
DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
- You know you need to get a good Acro syllabus in place but you just haven’t had the time to commit to learning one and actually implementing it.
- You know your students are getting some holes in their Acro technique and it’s showing up in their tricks on stage.
- You’ve tried every different YouTube and Instagram idea with your students for the next new trick but none of them seem to turn out like they do in the videos.
- You’re students are starting to just flat out take over because they think they know better than you and don’t see the need for technique and foundation work.
- And their PARENTS keep on pressuring you to skip ahead to the big tricks even though you know their not ready.
- You’re just so burned out from working your butt off in class only to make slow and disappointing progress with your acrobats.
If any of these statements have you thinking, “That is EXACTLY how I feel!” then keep on reading – you’re in the right place my friend.
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO GET YOUR ACRO DANCE SYLLABUS IN PLACE
Imagine what it’ll feel like once you’ve got your syllabus in place, teach tricks in the right order, and produce flawless technique every class
- Maybe you start to get consistent results, and your difficult students start taking foundation work seriously.
- You get to run your Acro program how you want to without worrying about being pressured to jump ahead to the big tricks.
- Your colleagues and parents tell you your tricks look amazing, and notice how polished your work has become.
You’re ready to start following a professional Acro Dance syllabus, but you’ve got a lot of questions!
“How do I even start? I already have so many different Acro classes running”
“I know there are holes in my technique, could this actually fix them?”
“This seems really hard, I’m not sure if I’m cut out for following a set plan”
We know, there can be a lot of questions and confusion when you’re just starting a new Acro Dance syllabus. If you haven’t been much of a plan follower before, it can be easy to make some critical mistakes, get off track, and never end up with your Acro classes on a proper system. Without guidance and set work, it can be difficult to make any progress at all!
That’s why we’ve created our done-for-you ADTA Acro Dance Syllabus.
THE ADTA ACRO DANCE SYLLABUS
Your Specialised Curriculum For Preschool Through Professional Acro Dance
The ADTA Acro Dance Syllabus is a bundle of levels all rolled into one master curriculum that will show you the correct order and way to implement your Acro Dance tricks.
Belinda used this syllabus to start her Acro Dance program, and after only one year her students were getting flawless tricks safely and quickly. Now, her students are advanced acrobats and receive many awards at competitions for their beautiful tricks.
Belinda Payne: Studio Owner Next Generation Dance Studio
This syllabus enables students to gradually build the strength they need to execute acrobatic tricks correctly and safely.
As a studio owner, I see a lot of young dancers trying tricks that they are not ready for. There are no shortcuts to Acro and the ADTA Acro Dance Syllabus teaches that everything must come from a place of strength to avoid injuries and get results.
This syllabus has taught myself and my Acro instructors how to safely teach Acro Dance at our studio.
The tricks do come and the ADTA Acro Dance syllabus got us there safely and effectively.

How Long Does It Take To Learn Then Implement The Syllabus?
Depending on what level(s) you need for your Acro program, you will need to set aside time to learn and prepare for them.
Everyone starts by watching the “Acro Studio System” to learn the ‘theory’ behind a good Acro program – expect to spend 2-3 hours watching all of the video tutorials in this section and getting a solid understanding of what your overall program will look like long-term. *You don’t need to spend time watching the “theory” tutorials on levels that you won’t be teaching unless you want dive into them. *
When Getting Started: As an example: If you have recreational students ages 7 or older you will want to dive into the “Junior Curriculum”. You will take approx. 1-2 hours to learn “Junior Warm Up #1, and about 2-4 hours watching all of the tricks, partnering and across the floor combinations inside the Junior division.
*Note: Each division is the equivalent of approx. 1-3 years of student work and students all progress at their own paces; still learn all of the curriculum work in the division ahead of time in preparation for your students that will progress through it quickly. *
Once you’re familiar with all of the Junior content, you’ll spend 1-2 hours printing off the textbook and progress charts for your students in preparation for your first Junior class.
Once you’ve completed all of this prep work, you will be ready to start planning out your Junior classes based on where you’re students are at. We recommend you spend 1-2 hours each month planning out your lessons for your students and using them for at least 4 weeks.
How Do I know If This Program Is Right For Me Or Not?
This program is right for you if:
- You have an Acro program in place but you’re not seeing the results you expected.
- You are just starting your Acro program and want to set it up properly right from the beginning.
- You have students (and parents) that don’t understand proper progressions and want to jump ahead to the big tricks.
- You are spending way to much time planning and researching content for your classes each month.
- You want all of your acrobats to look the same for choreography.
- You want dancers that look better overall in all genres from your Acro program.
- You want an additional revenue stream to your studio.
- You need to streamline your Acro Dance program and simplify your life.
This program is NOT right for you if:
- You aren’t willing to spend the time to learn a new syllabus and put it in place.
- Your Acro program is functioning well and you are getting the results that you want.
- You need more guidance and support; this is a self-study curriculum.
- You are looking for official certification; certification is obtained through our “Premiere Comprehensive Program For Acro Dance”.
- You need set lesson plans for all levels. This program includes lesson plans for the Kinder Acro program and inside the “Foundations Of Acro Dance”, but lesson plans for the Junior, Intermediate and Advanced levels are not a part of this program; they are included as a part of certification.
Hi I’m Melissa Klassen and I’m obsessed with helping Acro teachers get smart and efficient with their Acro classes so they can produce be flawless tricks and choreography!
I started teaching teachers 15 years ago after I personally crossed over from gymnastics coach to Acro Dance teacher, and quickly realized I was the only one in my area who knew how to teach and spot it properly.
My friends and colleagues in the dance industry started asking me how I was doing it, and I started showing them how!
I created this syllabus for instructors after years of trying to find resources for myself. I created my own syllabus, and knew I needed to share this powerful resource with more people!
I created this “ADTA Acro Dance Syllabus” digital program because I wanted to cut the learning curve for other teachers, and I believe everyone can learn how to become an efficient and successful Acro Dance teacher with the right guidance and tools.
I’m excited to see your own results with your students as you take this leap and become a world-class Acro Dance teacher!
Create a world-class Acro Dance program that gets you predictable results and flawless technique that YOU can feel successful running … in the next year or less!
YOU CAN DO THIS EVEN IF YOU ARE FRUSTRATED AND OVERWHELMED!
I’m already so burnt out from working so hard!
The key to overcoming burn out is by working smarter not harder. When the heavy lifting is already figured out for you, all you have to do is implement it and you will quickly start to get the reliable results you’ve been working too hard trying to achieve by yourself.
I already bought a syllabus before, why do I need this?
If you’re not getting the results you need, your system is not working for you. Our teachers are getting amazing results because they implement our Set Technique Warm-ups. Our set work is the way you are finally going to get results.
This seems expensive, I don’t know if it’s worth it?
When you put this system in place your program will explode. Our members at least double their Acro programs within the first year! Their students are getting amazing results and word gets out. Expect your program to take off and create a lot more revenue. This program actually makes you money!
