Elena, the driving force behind Atlantic Acro, (daughter of co-founder, Sheena), loves all dance genres but finds her true passion in Acro Dance . She is the head coach for all weekly classes & offeree of private lessons.

Dancing & flipping before she could walk, Elena began her dance training at 3 years old. She was a self-taught acro dancer from ages 10-12, and then started competing and examining her acro strengths with the Acrobtic Arts syllabus in following teen years. Elena has many examination levels in Acrobatic Arts, is certified in the teacher training/assisting course, and is a certified Acrobatic Arts Module 1 teacher.

To further perfect the art of acro dance, she moved her full-time training to Elle Dance Academy and, with their support, launched Atlantic Acro workshops to bring all of her experiences from coaches and fellow tumbling/acro enthusiasts together. It has been upward and onward ever since!!

Maya started dance and gymnastics at the age of 2 and fell in love with them both! A natural performer, she began dancing and performing acrobatics competitively at age 6 and immediately loved being in front of an audience.

Maya has competed & examined in both dance and acro alongside Elena at Elle Dance Academy. Her examinations in Acrobatic Arts levels 5 through to Pre-Pro two showcase her advanced expertise in the art. She has extensive experience teaching acro and dance to young aspiring dancers and tumblers.

She is working on her Acrobatic Arts Teacher Certification and is certified in acro student teaching.
