Acro dance classes, Acrobatic Arts certified
Acro blends classical dance technique with the precision and athleticism of acrobatics, taught on the world’s most widely used AcroDance syllabus.
What is acro?
AcroDance, or acro, fuses dance technique with acrobatic elements. Acro dancers blend musicality, emotional expression, line and extension with acrobatic movement, all in a dance context.
Acro has softer, more lyrical lines than gymnastics. We teach dancers to move into and out of tricks with minimal obvious preparation, so the tricks blend into the choreography and add excitement to it.
It’s a challenging style because it requires training in both dance and acrobatics: balancing, limbering, tumbling and partnering, built on flexibility, contortion and strength.
