Tips for Choosing the Right Acrodance Class for Your Child
Finding the perfect acrodance class for your child can be a thrilling yet challenging task. Acrodance blends the artistry of dance with the flexibility and strength of acrobatics, making it a fantastic choice for energetic and adventurous kids. Here are some tips to help you select the right acrodance class for your child:
1. Assess Your Child’s Interests and Goals
Before enrolling your child in an acrodance class, consider their interests and goals. If they enjoy combining dance with acrobatics, acrodance is an excellent fit. However, if they’re more inclined towards hip hop or classical dance, you might explore other options like hip hop classes or ballet classes for kids.
2. Look for Qualified Instructors
The quality of instruction can make a huge difference in your child’s experience and progress. Ensure that the class is taught by qualified instructors with experience in acrodance. You might also consider other classes to see if they have instructors who are skilled in different dance forms, such as jazz dance classes or classical vocals.
3. Evaluate Class Structure and Size
A well-structured class with a manageable size is essential for effective learning. Smaller class sizes often mean more personalized attention. Check if the acrodance classes have a structured curriculum that includes warm-ups, skill-building, and choreography.
4. Check Facilities and Safety Measures
Ensure that the studio provides a safe environment with proper equipment and facilities. This is especially important for acrodance, which involves physical movements that require safety precautions. If you are considering a ballet school in Singapore, make sure the facilities are up to standard.
5. Visit the Studio and Observe a Class
Before making a decision, visit the studio and observe a class if possible. This will give you a sense of the class dynamics, teaching style, and how the instructor interacts with the students.
6. Consider the Class Schedule and Location
Choose a class that fits well with your family’s schedule and is conveniently located. Whether it’s acrodance or another form of dance, a suitable schedule will ensure consistency and commitment. You can also explore dance classes in Singapore that fit your requirements.
7. Seek Recommendations and Read Reviews
Talk to other parents or read online reviews to get insights into different acrodance programs. Personal recommendations can be incredibly valuable in finding a class that’s well-regarded by others.
8. Inquire About Trial Classes
Many studios offer trial classes, which can be a great way to gauge if the class is a good fit for your child before committing long-term. This allows your child to experience the class and see if it aligns with their interests.
9. Evaluate Costs and Value
Consider the cost of the class and what it includes. Sometimes, higher costs may reflect better facilities or more experienced instructors. Ensure that you’re getting good value for the price you’re paying.
10. Check for Additional Opportunities
Find out if the studio offers additional opportunities such as performances or competitions. These can be great for boosting your child’s confidence and providing them with extra motivation.
By keeping these tips in mind, you can find an acrodance class that will not only meet your child’s needs but also nurture their passion for dance and acrobatics. If you’re looking for more options or have specific questions, you can always contact us for personalized advice.
For a broader range of dance classes, you might also explore options like ballet classes or hip hop classes. Each dance form has its unique benefits and can complement your child's acrodance training.

FiddleStan Triplets AU
[Stan doing Dolly's hair for her ballet class]
Dolly: Pappa, how do you know how to comb hair so well?
Stan: I don't know, gremlin. It's something I learned a long time ago.
Dolly: Did you go to ballet classes!?
Stan: Why such a correct assumption?
Dolly: You confirmed it!
Stan: Wow! You're smart, gremlin!
Dolly: What was your favorite presentation?
Stan: I don't know, I don't remember that time much.
Dolly: Oh!... So you didn't like going to ballet?
Stan: It wasn't something I was excited about.
Dolly: But, don't you like me doing ballet?
Stan: It's different, sweetie. You like ballet, and if you like it, I'm happy that you do something you like.
Dolly: ...
Stan: But I remember, I wanted to be a rat in a presentation.
Dolly: That's the nutcracker!!!
Stan: Oh, is that the name? I wanted to be a rat, but I ended up being a candy fairy or something.
Dolly: Too bad! You would have made a great rat-... No, pappa, you would have made a great rat king!!
Stan: So the Rat King, huh?
Dolly: Yes, the best Rat King!
#Stan has a complicated relationship with ballet...#Although Stan liked some of the stories about ballet#he didn't really like practicing it.#But he had to go to ballet classes because “Dad paid for it”...#Maybe for him ballet would have been more fun if he had had more neutral roles...#Let's say Dolly makes him like ballet...#A rather long conversation... but I liked the idea of Dolly dressed as Clara and Stan as the Rat King...#fiddlestan triplets au#fiddleford x stanley#stanley x fiddleford#gravity falls stanley#stanley pines#fan kid#fiddlestan#trans!stan#gravity falls#gravity falls au#fiddlestan triplets

I have this massive AU for the Batfam (and DC in general) that spawned from a very sleep deprived "You can't just gender swap Batman, there are implications" and honest to God, it's the one thing keeping me sane.
#like#there's no way in hell you end up being the same kind of person if you are a woman#gender (much like race or class or sexuality) is such an integral part of your identity#it woukd be more socially acceptable for Alfred to “mother” Bruce#Bruce's persona would be beloved in the year of our lord 2024#but before???#she's a bimbo and it does make the cover better but it's gotta be so grating#specially the slutshaming#there's so many more people trying to wrestle control of WE industries from her#and don't get me started on the kids#Dick would struggle so much with his perception as “easy bubbly happy girl”#and her experiences of sa and eldest daughter rage#like imagine how different Dick's “happy but with anger issues” personality would be percieved#Barbara having to deal with disability when being a man is all about physical prowess#I think Jason would have a very gender moment of discovering butchness#and Tim on the other hand would be so performatively girlie#like Jack is the kind of mother that makes her daughter get into ballet because she never could#batfam#batman#genderswap#genderbend

I got sucked into a youtube rabbit hole and guyssss I miss ballet.....
#if you didnt know#i used to do ballet tap and drama classes when i was a wee little kid#and i was good at it. i think#im very flexible#it's the only like. very feminine thing (to me. it doesnt have to be. there are male dancers) that I've ever really connected to#remembering getting a million bobby pins stuck in my skull for that beautiful ballet bun#the gorgeous bun covers. my tights and my leotard.#and i am really flexible (hello eds) so I can do the splits easy. I can stretch with my head to the floor#and I was a quick learner. the steps were very satisfying to me to learn and remember#it was fun.#but theres nooo way I could do it now. too fat and out of shape for one#and for two all my bones would break instantly#but anyway. feeling very nostalgic

it’s so not feasible in literally any universe but the concept of morris doing ballet still possesses me body and soul
#once again turning to george crawford and yelling ‘this is your fault!’#he’s just so graceful especially in uksies#ballet is about strength and rigidity and perfection#veers easily into obsession and not being good enough. pushing yourself to the point of destruction#just to be perfect for a second before you crash#and that is just. so morris#also very often foster kids are just made to Do Stuff so that’s my excuse for him. boy got shoved into a ballet class#and then got stuck on the desire to be Good at it and earn the praise of his teacher#morris delancey

there are two wolves inside of you. One of them is fretting that you went through all the effort of making a new art account just to pigeonhole yourself once more into a specific fandom, which holds you back from exploring original art concepts that you care about. The other one came up with three separate ace attorney comic ideas in the last hour alone and isn't stopping anytime soon
#laurellala talks#am i unwell? perhaps#i also drew like 5 more sketchy comics i haven't posted#and a full colored drawing i haven't posted bc i'm overthinking if i need to attach comics to it also or post on its own#i want to draw more muppets interactions and come up with an actual theoretical muppets ace attorney case!#they would get to explore the muppet studio as a location aaa it would be so cuteee#and i'm in the middle of drawing a comic of miles and nick video calling and teasing a young trucy (i love trucy)#and i NEED to draw nick and maya interactions from trials and tribulations case 3 it's so sibling coded agh my heart#also i want to draw lisa basil in general the roboty software company lady#i want to design an ace attorney self insert called Laurel Lyre (you're a liar) and draw sprite expressions and character interactions#she would be an art student that Nick knew from college and she was painting a still life of the scene of the crime#and her painting has something different than how the crime scene looked which is used as proof in court#ALSOOO i had an idea for a silly comic of nick visiting miles in germany (platonic coded)#and of either a comic or short story idea of them going out to dinner together. This one is hard to explain but it would be good#I WANT TO DRAW FRANZISKA TOO i have an angst comic idea for her! And i want to draw her as a kid in dance class#i feel like she has so much scrutiny of herself which is very “i was in dance as a kid” coded. Ballet probably#I ALSO have a comic idea of a holiday party that took place before miles' murder trial but after steel samurai case#where miles begrudgingly talks to phoenix to avoid small talk with strangers and they talk about college#specifically like. it is canon to me that phoenix was in an improv group in college. That's where he learned to bluff. he's so silly#i also want to make a comic of the parents at trucy's school trying to sus out how old nick is#since he's only like what 17 years older than her?#I also want to make a gilmore girls joke but i can't tell if this is too dated to be funny. Do people know this show still#i had never watched it before so i just watched like half a season of it just to make a joke. It's cute.#What Else. I have like 5 animatic ideas but i need to ask my friend what she uses to make hers bc in the past I've used imovie on my phone#do not recommend#and if i don't draw everything RIGHT NOW i'm going to lose interest and nothing will get made!!!!!!#andandand I STILL NEED TO FINISH TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONSSSSS#i got sooo far i'm doing so well in the waitress case#i need to finish it so i can finally understand apollo justice and know what the HECK happened in that time skip#ace attorney

every couple years I’m like “I should be stretching” and rediscover that I am like. comically inflexible
#if you saw me stretching you would be like ‘you are just sitting there’#meanwhile my tendons feel like a bridge cord#this has been a post#this isn’t even JUST a ‘I don’t stretch like I should and you can tell’#(which is true but)#I did gymnastics and ballet as a kid#I was the only person in both classes who couldn’t do the splits#even when I was at my springiest I was still inflexible

big shoutout to the girl in my dance class that i’ve never met before who, after i corrected the teacher on my pronouns (she’s right most of the time but understandably slips up since she’s in her 60s and everyone else is a girl) said THEY even louder to make sure everyone heard
#psa adult ballet classes exist#bigender#nonbinary#trans allies#the kids are alright#she’s like 18 and very cool and good at dance so ngl i was intimidated at first but nope she’s great

👏 👏 👏
“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.
#When I was 5 I announced to my kindergarten music teacher that I wanted to be a ballerina#I had no experience with dance whatsoever and was not the kind of kid who was typically into tutus or things like that#Possibly I'd just seen the Nutcracker and had my baby mind blown at seeing professional dancers for the first time#But I didn't ask to take dance classes#I didn't ask for ballet shoes or tutus#I fact I didn't even remember saying it when the teacher brought it up at parent conference later in the year#It was a whim#And that's OK!#If I'd asked for lessons or showed more interest my parents would probably have broke the bank to let me pursue it#Several years later when I was into horses they sent me to horse camp and it was a brilliant experience#I interned at a vet clinic as a teen and applied to the preveterinary program in university#Ultimately I didn't finish the program but I learned a lot that I use to this day in my animal rescue volunteer work#And at one point during college I had friends who were dancers and I got to experiment with that too!#For the love of everything... Let kids try things and experiment with their interests and identities!#I wore cowboy boots to school for two years and changed my name to a gender neutral version - which I still use#I'm probably nonbinary but at my age idgaf anymore.#They don't have to know or understand everything about themselves by age 6 or 12 or 18#But absolutely DO respect what they're interested in and what their identity is no matter what age#Support their interests and passions and yes even their passing whims#Because they don't know and you don't know what is going to end up being pivotal in their life!#Give them space to experiment and try and fail and change their minds and learn new things about themselves.#Without the pressure to make anything permanent#That's the amazing thing about options like puberty blockers#It buys some time for a young person to learn more about themselves before their body starts making decisions for them#It's like taking a gap year if they don't know what they want to do after high-school
