What is Acro Dance?

Imagine the graceful fluidity of ballet combined with the dynamic power of gymnastics. That’s the essence of acro dance! This unique style incorporates precision acrobatic elements like:

  • Front and back walkovers: Gracefully rolling over your body, showcasing flexibility and control.
  • Aerials: Defying gravity with mesmerizing flips and twists in the air.
  • Handsprings: A powerful inversion, propelling yourself forward with your hands.
  • Front and back tucks: Folding your body into a compact form, defying gravity with explosive jumps.
  • Handsprings with dance elements: Adding a flourish of artistry to your handsprings, incorporating pirouettes or leg extensions.

More Than Just Tricks: Acro Dance as Artistic Expression

“The grace and poise that a student learns in Ballet are transferred to other dances and to a girl’s life out of the studio as well. When I see a girl walking, I can tell she is a dancer. Her shoulders are back, she holds her head high, and she has that extra poise that comes from being a Ballet dancer. She carries herself differently, she is stronger and she knows it. She is a Dancer and that helps define who she is and where she thinks she belongs in the world. What parents give their girls and what she gives to herself in the dance studio makes a difference in her life.” – Catherine Stephenson
