| Discipline Information |
Acrobatic Gymnastics could be described
as an infusion of choreography and complex acrobatic skills performed
in partnership on a standard gymnastics floor area. Balance,
Tempo and Combined routines are performed to music. The floor
area is 12x12 metres; Duration of the routines is 2 minutes 30
seconds.
Great Britain is one of the most respected nations in
Acrobatic Gymnastics and has achieved success at World and
European level with medals in all categories.
Gymnasts work in harmony and trust, each responsible
for their partner or partners. It is a true and testing examination
of human relationships. Routines impose on gymnasts a need
for strength, agility, flexibility, balance and acrobatic skills.
The results are spectacular, intricate balances performed on
partners, exciting multiple somersaults and twisting somersaults
with partners being pitched and caught. A requirement, and
opportunity to express their artistry and individual gymnastics
skills makes this a delight for spectators, and a tremendous
feeling of attainment for gymnasts.
