What is acro dance?
Acro Dance is an art form that incorporates the fluid movements of dance with the exciting tricks from acrobatics.
It is “gymnastics for dancers”, where students develop specific strength, flexibility and technique, to learn how to execute acrobatic tricks, to then be used in dance choreography.
The training students receive in their acro dance classes helps to reinforce the technique in all other dance genres.
Adding acro dance is next-level training that will develop a specific skill set, and creates well-rounded and versatile dancers.
