Acro Dance: Style, Trend, or Takeover?

Is acro really a legit style of dance? Or just gymnastics with music?

In this episode of Hey, Dancer!, I dive into the roots of acro dance, its rise in competitions and studio culture, and why — despite its popularity — some major dance institutions still don’t recognize it as a core genre. I also explore why I respect acro, even love it… but still can’t quite call it home.

Whether you’re team “It’s a style!” or side-eyeing the flips in lyrical solos, this one’s for you.
