What is the difference between Acro and Tumbling?
This is a very common question. Acro and Tumbling share similar skill sets. Tumbling and acrobatic dance (or acro for short) are very different in how the subject trains, executes the material, and the overall “look” of a performance. The focus in both acro and tumbling is strength, balance, and flexibility but the difference in execution lies in the transition of movement. For many, the difference is described as “Tumbling is a sport and Acrobatics is an art”. For example
A tumbler may run into a round-off back handspring full-twisting back layout, while an acro dancer may perform a softer, more lyrical line, such as an illusion swinging into a cartwheel, back handspring to a heel stretch and tilt a la seconde. Two very impressive passes, with two very distinct “looks” and intentions.
Acro is considered a dance form. Acro is all about lengthening the body and flowing into the tricks using dance moves with very little prep. Acro is designed as a supplement to dance training. There is also no use of apparatus, the dancers ARE the apparatus. It is very common to “stack” or build platforms out of dancers through partnering to create exciting layers within a performance. For dancers, acro is great for adding versatility to your training. Not only will you develop the skills to perform moves like aerials and back handsprings but it will improve your ability to leap and turn in your classes as well.
Tumbling combines strength and flexibility to perform dynamic stunting, and consecutive tumbling skills (combinations) without the use of props or equipment. This includes somersaults, cartwheels, rolls, handsprings, and more. Like Acro tumbling compliments and improves dancers’ technique and skills.
Currently, we offer tumbling from 18th months – teen.
Currently, we offer acro starting in grade 1.
