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 equips teachers to run thriving programs.

No gatekeeping. No burnout. Just real results.
This program helps studios start—or completely revamp—their acro training safely and successfully. Whether you’re new to teaching acro or restructuring your curriculum, DTCE provides the support you need to lead confident, well-paced, technique-driven classes—no certification required.
And let’s be honest—most certification programs are either too expensive, too surface-level, or not designed for real studio environments. That’s why DTCE is developing affordable, practical, results-driven certification programs that actually help teachers instead of gatekeeping.
Built for Dance Teachers—Not Gymnasts
Most dance teachers don’t have foam pits, spring floors, or fully equipped gymnastics gyms. They’re teaching on Marley or wood, running combo classes, and juggling multi-age groups.
That’s why Kimberly Beck Thomson designed this course for real dance studios.
✔ Structure class flow with creative partner stations
✔ Keep dancers engaged with obstacle-style progressions
✔ Apply spotting corrections and partner-safety strategies
✔ Solve everyday challenges (like slippery Marley floors)
