ACRO

Acrobatic Arts 

Acro dance is a style of dance that combines classical dance technique with precision acrobatic elements. It is defined by its athletic character, its unique choreography, which seamlessly blends dance and acrobatics, and its use of acrobatics in a dance context. It is a popular dance style in amateur competitive dance as well as in professional dance theater and contemporary circus productions such as those by Cirque du Soleil. Here at L.A. Dance we aim to bring each child to their next acrobatic level. Our Professional coach can work with every child at his/her own level.

What Makes  Acro Dance Different?

Acro dance stands in contrast to rhythmic and artistic gymnastics, which are sports that employ dance elements in a gymnastics  context, with each being regulated by a governing gymnastics organization and Code of Points. Acro dance is known by various other names including acrobatic dance and gymnastic dance, though it is most commonly referred to simply as acro by dancers and dance professionals.

Specialized Training and Skill

Acro is an especially challenging dance style for dancers as it requires them to be trained in both dance and acrobatic skills. Acro dancers must be in excellent physical condition as well because acro is a physically demanding activity. Although acro is a popular dance style, many dance schools do not teach it, often due to the lack of facilities or expertise needed for acrobatic training.
