Acrobatic Dance, or acro, is the beautiful fusion of classic dance technique and the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements.
Acro dance seamlessly blends musicality, emotional expression, line and extension with acrobatic movements in a dance context.
Acro’s roots are in traditional Chinese dance, later appearing as a favored style on the Vaudeville stage, in Cirque du Soleil, and on dance television programs.
Acro technique includes balancing, limbering, tumbling and partnering, based in flexibility, contortion and strength.
GDC teaches the Acrobatic Arts curriculum program with simple, thoughtful progressions that take the beginner preschool level dancer from log rolls and somersaults to the advanced dancer tumbling effortlessly across the stage.
