Tumbling & Acro Descriptions

As an Acrobatic Arts Certified Studio, we are proud to offer a world-renowned, progressive curriculum designed to help students build strength, flexibility, confidence, and exceptional technique.

Whether your child dreams of learning cartwheels, walkovers, handsprings, aerials, or advanced tumbling skills, our program provides the foundation to achieve those goals safely.

This structured program is perfect for beginners and experienced students alike—no previous experience required.

Our curriculum focuses on five key areas: flexibility, strength, balancing, limbering, and tumbling while emphasizing proper conditioning, anatomy, and safe spotting techniques. Students progress through carefully designed levels that develop dynamic flexibility, muscle strength, body awareness, and technically sound skills, allowing each child to advance confidently at their own pace.

At HCPAA, safety, proper technique, and confidence come first, helping students become strong, confident athletes while having fun and celebrating every milestone along the way.

Pre-K & Kindergarten Tumbling Program

The Pre-K and Kindergarten Tumbling curriculum is a foundational training system focusing on physical literacy, body awareness, coordination, and social-emotional development. Through age-appropriate activities and structured skill building, students develop the strength, flexibility, confidence, and movement skills needed for future acrobatic training.

The program focuses on three core elements:

Stretch:
Students develop basic flexibility through structured sitting and floor exercises that encourage mobility, body awareness, and safe movement habits.

Strength:
Students build upper body, core, and leg strength to support their own body weight while developing coordination, control, and physical confidence.

Skills:
Students learn foundational acrobatic movements through safe, progressive exercises using age-appropriate techniques and equipment.

The curriculum introduces young students to the fundamental building blocks of acrobatic training through age-appropriate activities that develop coordination, strength, flexibility, and confidence.

Students focus on the following areas:

Acrobatic Shapes & Positions:
Students are introduced to foundational body shapes and positions that create the building blocks for future skills. Through exercises involving shapes such as tucks, pikes, and straddles, students develop body control, spatial awareness, and proper alignment.

Locomotor & Across-the-Floor Skills:
Students develop coordination, rhythm, and confidence through foundational movement patterns including skipping, marching, galloping, and animal walks such as bear walks and crab walks.

Balance & Body Control:
Students develop balance, stability, and coordination through exercises such as standing on one foot and progressing toward assisted handstands against the wall.

Early Tumbling & Limbering Skills:
Students begin developing the strength, flexibility, and coordination needed for future tumbling skills through exercises such as log rolls, frog jumps, baby bridges, forward rolls, and early pre-cartwheel progressions.

Level I
Acro

Using the five key components of flexibility, strength, balancing, limbering, and tumbling, students build the foundation for safe and successful acrobatic training. Students develop body awareness, coordination, flexibility, and strength while learning beginning skills such as forward rolls to pike, backward rolls to tuck, push-up to bridge, pike handstands on the wall, L handstands on the wall, assisted handstands on the mat, cartwheels, and introductory headstands.

Level II
Acro

Using the five key components of flexibility, strength, balancing, limbering, and tumbling, students continue building strength, flexibility, and confidence while refining technique and control. Students progress through skills including headstand variations, dive forward rolls, handstand holds, handstand to forward roll, candlesticks, backbend to bridge, backbend bridge recoveries, one-hand cartwheels, roundoffs, and backbend bridge kickovers.

Level III Acro


Using the five key components of flexibility, strength, balancing, limbering, and tumbling, students advance their skills through increased strength, coordination, and technical development. Students work on intermediate skills including chest stands, handstand walks, handstand to chest rolls, standing backward rolls to candlesticks, front walkovers, back walkovers, front and back limbers, power hurdle roundoffs, and aerial preparation.

Level IV
Acro

Using the five key components of flexibility, strength, balancing, limbering, and tumbling, students develop more advanced acrobatic skills while focusing on power, control, and proper execution. Students work toward skills including forearm stands, arabian handstands, valdez, tinsica/spider rolls, side aerials, front aerials, back handsprings, and back tucks while continuing to build the strength and technique needed for advanced tumbling progressions.

Level Progression

Students progress through each level based on skill mastery, strength, flexibility, and technical readiness. Once a student has successfully demonstrated the required skills and proper technique for their current level, they will advance to the next level. Student placement is continuously evaluated throughout the season, allowing students to move levels as needed to ensure they are appropriately challenged and progressing safely.
