Acro is a unique blend of dance and gymnastic disciplines, that allows dancers to move from stunning acrobatic type movements, into traditional steps and elements that make up many styles of dance. The Acrobatic Arts program is designed to teach students a complete understanding of AcroDance and is based on the five divisions:

• Flexibility

• Strength

• Balancing

• Limbering

• Tumbling
