Why Daniel Is Excited to Join us at VDF26

I'm really looking forward to connecting with the Australian performing arts, cheer and gymnastics community and showcasing Acropad at VDF - it’s a fantastic platform.

Our brand is extremely tactical so its important that people get to see it in action, feel it and for us to learn and understand what the communities are looking for. We approach this as studio owners and always start from "how does this benefit the studio?" We are super excited to teach and meet performers who love Acro and share our passion for using Acro as an element of dance.

What AcroPAD Offers at VDF

We’ll be running open sessions, where students can train, have fun and explore movement. AcroPAD isn't just about Acro, it's about any movement with elevation and impact.

What Makes AcroPAD Unique

Acropad stands out because at our core we are performers/Dancer/Musical Theatre fans, we love technique and traditional training. We are studio owners so we understand the passion, the love, the hard work that goes into running a studio. Everything we do is focused on the students and the studio owners. We offer 2yr warranty, 100 day money back guarantee, 12 months interest free credit and so much more. We are building a community that shares and support each other.

How AcroPAD Elevates Dance Studio Training

Having an Acropad helps studios: An AcroPAD becomes an assest, a revenue generator, a "best practise" equipment not just for Acro, but for many dance styles and sports. There are hundreds of different ways the product can be used: Acro, Ballet conditioning, Jazz, Contemporary, Breakin, Tricking, Tumbling and more.

Final Thoughts on AcroPAD at VDF

AcroPAD offers a practical, well-designed solution for dancers and studios looking to improve training quality and safety. Daniel Keating’s insights highlight how the product grew from real studio experience and a love for dance and acro. If you attend VDF, we highly recommend visiting AcroPAD’s sessions to experience the training pad yourself.

For dance teachers and studio owners, adding an AcroPAD can open new possibilities for classes, boost student confidence, and support a wider range of movement styles. It’s a smart investment that benefits both performers and the studios that nurture them. Look out for Daniel's session as part of Vitality Dance Teacher Conference.
