ACROBATICS TEAM

What is Acrobatics?

Acrobatics, or acro for short, is a complex sport comprised of dance, lifts, throwing/balancing skills, and tumbling elements, all performed to music for about two minutes. This sport has several categories you can compete in, including pairs, trios, and quads.

Levels vary based on the difficulty and variety of the elements, ranging from balancing on another person's shoulders to doing triple flips off of partner basket tosses.

These routines are competed at competitions locally, nationally, and for some levels, even globally.

Scoring is judged on three main categories:

Execution: How well the skills are performed, factoring in stability, amplitude, and cleanliness.

Artistry: How the partnership works as a whole, factoring in dance synchronization, unique lifts/elements, and overall flow.

Difficulty: How hard the skills performed are, encouraging athletes to compete more challenging elements in return for a headstart on their competition.
