Acro is a type of dance that has been formed with the amalgamation of dancing acrobatic gymnastics. However, this dance form came into spotlight in Canada and the United States in the early 1900’s in Vaudeville.
The focus in Acro is strength, balance and flexibility but the difference in execution lies in the transition of movement. For many the difference is described as “Gymnastics is a sport and Acrobatics is an Art”.
