Qualified Without the Price Tag: DTCE’s Take on Acro Training
Let’s be real—certification is a great asset, but it’s not always in the cards when time and budgets are tight. Kimberly’s philosophy is simple: “You don’t need to be certified to be qualified—you just need the right tools and a solid system.”
That’s exactly why she created DTCE’s Acro Courses: comprehensive, safety-focused, progression-based training that gives you everything you need to teach with confidence and run a thriving acro program.

No gatekeeping. No burnout. Just real results.
This program helps studios start—or completely revamp—their acro programs safely and successfully. Whether you’re new to teaching acro or restructuring your existing classes, DTCE provides the exact support you need to lead confident, well-paced, technique-driven training—no certification required.
And let’s be honest—most certification programs are either too expensive, too surface-level, or not built for real-world dance studios. That’s why DTCE is changing the game with affordable, practical, and results-driven certification courses in development.
Built for Dance Teachers—Not Gymnasts
Most dance teachers don’t have the luxury of a fully equipped gymnastics facility. They’re working on Marley or wood floors, juggling mixed-level classes, and doing everything possible to keep students safe and engaged.
That’s exactly why Kimberly Beck Thomson created this series: a realistic, studio-friendly acro system designed for the environments teachers actually work in.
✔ Structure class flow so every dancer stays active
✔ Use mat setups that minimize spotting stress
✔ Design obstacle-course stations for engagement
✔ Solve tricky floor conditions (yes—even slippery Marley floors)

Teach Smart. Spot Less. Keep Your Sanity.
The DTCE Method is built to help teachers thrive—not burn out. Kimberly teaches you how to:
✔ Stack progressions so students learn independence
✔ Introduce 3–5 new skills weekly without overwhelm
✔ Use bonus drills and mat landings for safer practice
✔ Cue takeoff angles for precision and control
You’ll teach smarter, spot safer, and last longer in this profession—because let’s face it, you can’t be lifting backs all day for the next 10 years.
Discipline, Class Flow & Student Retention—All Built In
With Kimberly’s approach, acro classes don’t just run smoothly—they become the most in-demand classes in the studio.
✔ Structured flow keeps pace lively
✔ Clear rules improve behavior and safety
✔ Multi-level strategies make every dancer feel successful
The result? Engaged dancers, packed classes, higher enrollment, and stronger retention.

✔ Thousands of drills
✔ 50+ cartwheel variations
✔ Acro combos woven into jazz, lyrical, and contemporary choreography
✔ Themed classes, prop work, and choreography inspiration
