About Us

Where it all began

Atlantic Acro was founded in October 2020 by Elena Bonin and her mom, Sheena Butler. Elena has been dancing and tumbling since she could stand, and was 14 years old when she started Altantic Acro. She has her eyes set on a possible future career in dance and acro teaching. To get there she is both seeking out and making her own opportunities to take her training to the next level. Sheena is a dance mom who has watched her daughter, Elena catch the acro bug and seek opportunities to work on skills at a rate that matches her development. Having driven many miles to support Elena’s training and in chatting with others, Sheena recognized an opportunity to bring together acro coaches and students from established dance practices in the region and offer additional acro training in one location.

Atlantic Acro is a goal focused space that is meant to enhance what students are learning at their chosen performance school. We offer expertise from a variety of highly-trained coaches on a weekly, drop-in basis. The only commitment we require is one to fun and safety.
