Acropals Acrobatics

AcroPals Acrobatics classes are inclusive of all ages and abilities and run in the inner west by Ilyan Keay. Our classes are safe and fun and taught on a strong foundation of gymnastics and tumbling technique with amazing Airtracks and equipment used in every class. We offer classes for everyone from Tinies (under 5’s) to absolute beginners (Level 1) all the way up to advanced flips and twists (Level 5). Our Senior students are offered a complimentary pathway into teaching and performance through our Teacher Training Program, with lots of special events and extra training opportunities. At AcroPals we offer a family-friendly environment with parents and siblings always welcome to watch! We are proud to show off what our kids have learned and are happy we have created a place for kids to focus on skills with friends and family away from the pressures of competitive training!

We don’t have compulsory uniforms, technical membership fees, insurance fees, concerts, competitions or gradings, and are always inclusive of students from all backgrounds, of all shapes, sizes and abilities.

We hope to have you a part of the AcroPals family, no matter where your child is on their Acro-journey or what path they took to get to Acro – we have a place for them.
