Acro

Acro Dance – is the beautiful fusion of dance technique and the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements. Often defined by unique choreography, acro dancers seamlessly blend musicality, emotional expression, lines and extension with acrobatic movements in a dance context.

Acro was a popular style on the Vaudeville stage, and has gained popularity in past years with the widespread success of the contemporary circus productions of Cirque du Soleil. Mainstream media including dance television programs like ‘So You Think You Can Dance’, ‘America’s Best Dance Crew’ and ‘World of Dance’ have further fuelled it’s demand in amateur competitive dance and studio settings.

Acro is an especially challenging style for dancers to master as training in both dance and acrobatic elements is required. Acro technique includes balancing, limbering, tumbling and partnering, based in flexibility, contortion and strength. Acro Dance is often confused with gymnastics with dance steps as both have similar tumbling elements, but due to the structure of performance venues the technical execution is quite different.
