  • Acro Dance

    Love gymnastics? You’ll want to keep reading!

    Acro Dance is an art form that incorporates the fluid movements of dance with the exciting tricks from acrobatics.

    It is “gymnastics for dancers”, where students develop specific strength, flexibility and technique, to learn how to execute acrobatic tricks, to then be used in dance choreography.

    Adding acro dance is next-level training that will develop a specific skill set, and creates well-rounded and versatile dancers.

    TEMPO Dance Studio is a proud member of Acro Dance Teachers Association.

    Please note, if your dancer has been training as a gymnast, they may experience a learning curve when transitioning to Acro. While tricks are similar, the approach into and out of tricks can be quite different.
