Acro (or acro-dance) is the fusion of classic dance technique and the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements. Forte's acro-dance program follows the Acrobatic Arts syllabus and is taught by a certified instructor. The only equipment used during class is a variety of mats, which are provided.
