Girls Acro
Acrobatics, also referred to acro in short, is thought to be a subdivision of gymnastics. Unlike gymnastics, acro is practiced and performed on a hard stage. Acro requires dancers to train their bodys to withstand the impact of the hard floor safely. For this to happen, dancers must learn how to lift their body enough to execute their tricks, when a gymnast would utilize a spring floor. Also unlike gymnastics, acro is a softer, more graceful line movement with a more fluid prep and landing. Gymnast perform hard hitting single passes, where as dancers will seamlessly incorporate a trick into their choreography without stopping in between tricks. Acro also focuses more on body contortion and tricks that defy the center of gravity, whereas gymnastics tricks are meant to be executed in straight lines. While all of this remains true, there is a small exception to all of this, and that is in the genre of Hip Hop. In Hip Hop, moves are still incorporated in the dance and display fluidity, but the tricks used in hip hop are performed much “harder” and end with a hard landing (such as headsprings, kip ups and back handsprings). Regardless, these advance tricks require a strong dance and acro foundation that is achieved with proper training and discipline.
