This is a really back-dated post. Well i attended my first acropolates free trial. So basically, just sharing what i felt.
For a start, this is a dance that is heavily and always misunderstood and underestimated (I shan't go into the details), but it really is a combination of gymnastics and dance. It involves great flexibility, body inversion and you definitely gotta work on core upper body.
My first experience was indeed fruitful. Was taught by instructor Ming. We started off with the usual warm-up and with the guidance of Ming, we were taught basic moves like front and back hook, attitude spin etc..
The initial stage was a little giddy, but surprisingly it gets better as i proceed on.
To sum up, stop being skeptical towards this dance, its defintely a force to be reckoned with.
