Acro (acrobatics) is a dance style that combines choreography with precision acrobatic elements. It focuses on the conditioning, flexibility, and strength needed for acrobatic athleticism. Dancers in acro classes must take a ballet class to develop the necessary dance technique to blend dance and acrobatics seamlessly. Instructors evaluate the dancers before placing them in a class.

​Dance Tumbling is the preparation class for Acro. Dancers develop the conditioning, strength, and flexibility needed to execute tumbling skills. The skills learned are backbends, forward and backward rolls, handstands, tuck jumps, cartwheels, and kickovers. The dancers learn the five ballet positions and traveling steps such as chassés, gallops, skips, and leaps. Choreography combining dance and tumbling is presented for performances.
