Are Acro and Contemporary Dance compatible?

Hi, I'm a 11 soon to be 12 year old girl and I have been thinking about doing contemporary dance. The problem is that I also want to do acro. Are there usually acro moves in contemporary dance and should I join a contemporary dance class and acro or just join a contemporary one?

Dear Louise,

You can practice both simultaneously. There’s no problem with that. But if you want to deepen more in one of them, you better take more classes of a single one, than split your time in both.

My daughter is turning 6 & has been doing ballet since she was 4. Acro has been recommended to her this year so i need to find out if its worth it at that age?

Acro classes at the age of six
by: Maria

Dear Mpho,

As long as your daughter has a good teacher, it is ok to take acro classes at her age. It may be both worth it and useful for a dancing or artistic future. But the key is the quality of the teachings.
