ACRO
DANCE
Acro Dance, as taught through the Acrobatic Arts Syllabus, blends the strength and athleticism of acrobatics with the grace and artistry of dance. Students progress through levels that build strength, flexibility, and technical skill, while incorporating moves like tumbling and balancing into choreographed routines.
While Acro Dance and gymnastics share similar skills, such as handstands and flips, the key difference is that gymnastics focuses on individual technical performance, often in a competitive setting. Acro Dance, however, integrates these skills into a seamless, expressive dance routine where fluidity and musicality are just as important as the acrobatic moves themselves.
Students in the Acrobatic Arts programme also have the opportunity to take exams at various levels, allowing them to track their progress and receive official recognition for their achievements. These exams provide a structured way to assess both technical acrobatic skills and their application in dance, ensuring students develop a well-rounded understanding of the discipline.
