Teaching acro shouldn’t feel like running a three-ring circus. Between mixed-level classes, constant spotting, and students wanting to throw aerials before they can hold a handstand, most teachers are stretched thinner than their Marley floor.

Qualified Without the Price Tag
Let’s be honest—certification is nice, but it’s not always realistic. It’s expensive, often surface-level, and doesn’t always prepare teachers for the real-world studio environment.
DTCE’s philosophy? You don’t need to be certified to be qualified—you just need the right tools and a solid system.
That’s why this program was built: a comprehensive, safety-first, progression-based system without the certification price tag. And while DTCE is developing affordable, results-driven certification options, teachers can start transforming their acro classes right now.

Built for Dance Teachers—Not Gymnasts
Most dance teachers don’t have foam pits or spring floors. They’re teaching on Marley or wood floors, running 45-minute combo classes, and juggling ages 7 to 13 in one room.
That’s why Kimberly Beck Thomson designed this curriculum for dance studios, not gymnastics gyms. Inside, you’ll learn:
✔ How to design obstacle course stations that keep every student engaged
✔ How to structure mat rotations so you’re not constantly spotting
✔ Classroom hacks for tricky conditions (yes—even slippery Marley floors)

Teach Smart. Spot Less. Keep Your Sanity.
The DTCE Method eliminates over-spotting by stacking progressions strategically. Students learn independence, teachers avoid burnout, and everyone wins.
✔ Train dancers to build strength before attempting skills
✔ Add bonus drills and landings for safer practice
✔ Introduce 3–5 new skills per week—without overwhelm
✔ Cue proper takeoff angles for clean execution
Translation? No more saving backs all day. You can still teach safely—without being the crash pad.
Discipline, Class Flow & Student Retention
Great acro classes don’t just teach tricks—they build discipline, teamwork, and focus. Kimberly’s system shows teachers how to:
✔ Keep class pace fast enough to avoid boredom
✔ Set clear rules that improve safety and focus
✔ Make every student feel seen and successful
The result? Packed acro classes, better student retention, and a stronger studio reputation.
Creative Curriculum That Never Gets Old
Nobody wants the same tired mat circuit every week. That’s why this course includes:
✔ 50+ cartwheel variations
✔ 1,000s of drills for every level
✔ Acro combos that fit seamlessly into jazz, lyrical, or contemporary choreography
✔ Fun class themes and prop integration
This isn’t just teaching tricks—it’s about keeping acro classes fresh, inspiring, and exciting.
