    What is acrobatic rock-n-roll?

    Acrobatic rock-n-roll - is a professional kind of sport with the national and worldwide international competitions. Mostly acrobatic rock-n-roll should be danced in couples and teams (formations - couples and girls/ladies) but at the national level there are also solo and duo categories.

    This type of dance developed in the 70's in Europe and became very popular among young people around the world. To understand what acrobatic rock-n-roll is, imagine tricks from gymnastics and even circus art being added to the choreography and danced to a very fast rhythm. The composition consists of characteristic specific movements of the legs and acrobatic or semi-acrobatic elements.

    Acrobatic rock-n-roll is a beautiful and challenging sport and dance style that imprints on your character, appearance and health. This is a competitive direction in which you can express all your ambitions and show dancing opportunities. And all the above make acrobatic rock-n-roll realy exciting.
