Acrobatics
the gymnastic moves of an acrobat

Acrobatic training teaches flexibility, balance, strength, muscle control, discipline and concentration as well as spatial awareness. The high degree of discipline and concentration required for acrobatics carries over to many aspects of a student’s life, including academics and other athletic performance. In an acrobatic dance, you can add dance elements from ballet, jazz, modern, tumbling and gymnastics. Props and equipment can also be used. Acrobatic dance can be done to any type of music and many acrobatic schools give great freedom of expression to performers. Group presentations can be very interesting as partner stunts can be added.
