Heh. Heh.
Our 6 kids are involved in a program called Acrofitness. Â It combines floor acrobatics (and/or dancing) with fitness moves.
Hence, the name.
There are a variety of classes, and all of the kids have found the one that really fits their interests.
Abbey takes hip-hop…Marley is in advanced tumbling (since she’s had years of gymnastics in FL)…Payton and Ethan take a Free Running class (also called Parkour; google that one)…Lainey and Dylan take beginning tumbling.
Last night, Acro had their Fitness Festival. Â A recital of sorts, where all the classes did a special routine to show what they’ve learned during the last year. Â Combining all of the individual classes with all of the teams (those are audition-based that do about 40 shows during the year at various events), we watched 45 routines. Â Abbey’s group was #19, the littles were #26.
The boys and Marley opted out…which was fine, since you’ve gotta purchase the event attire and it ain’t cheap.
The littles being goofy, while we waited for Abbey to get ready to go.
These aren’t great pics, but it’s the best we could do given all the heads in front of us.
Loved their routine…their instructor, Heather, is so good (she’s the dark haired gal in the white suit in the first pic)
Lainey and Dylan both did great…and D loved being in front of that many people. Â Ham.
They’re on the right end.
L and D with their fav coach, Mr. Joey. Â He’s SO good with them and they adore him.
All the kids will enjoy their summer break, but we’ll all be back at Acro again next year. Â Three nights per week. Â Flipping, jumping, and dancing.

The curtains behind them are really cool….looks like they can change the colors with different lights. So proud of all 6 for what they have done this year in Acro Fitness!! I’ll bet the entire show would have made a great video!! We just got back from NJ and we spent Saturday night with Billy & Karen at Glassboro High School watching dance recitals….Jessica, Eddie’s daughter was in 2 different dance classes….she did great! That was fun watching as there were different ages. Some older girls did the best jazz routine I have ever seen, and they really had the talent!! A boy named Jake Wong was the only male dancer. His mom is a dance teacher and his dad is a technical director….he looks like he’s about 8 or 9 and if Lainey had been there, she would have fell in love with him…he’s cute and a very talented dancer!!!
Now I need to go unpack. Have a wonderful time in Cancun!!!
