What is Acrodance?
According to Acrobatic Arts, “AcroDance is the beautiful fusion of traditional dance and acrobatic movement. While performing, dancers should maintain an emotional connection to the movement, music and audience. Acro is not just a bunch of tricks…dancers who study AcroDance have improved balance, flexibility, stability and control. This piece choreographed and performed by Derek Piquette is an excellent example of Acro Dance!”
