Acro
Michael’s Academy is proud to offer the very best in acrobatics instruction!
Acro dance is a form of dance combining the strength, flexibility, and technical precision of gymnastics with the grace and musicality of dance. Acro goes on to improve all other dance forms because of the strong centre of balance it instills in students’ bodies.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. 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.
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 lack of facilities or expertise needed for acrobatic training.
Here at Michael’s Academy, expert instructor Michael Isaacs has been teaching acro to students for 30 years .
