Acrobatics Gymnastics

Acrobatic Gymnastics is equal parts performance and partnership, as groups of gymnasts work together to complete spectacular and extraordinary feats.

Acrobatic gymnasts perform in pairs, trios or groups, in which each of the individual gymnast's size and skill are used to complement each other. Set to music and interspersed with choreography, the routines combine art and skill as the gymnasts perform static elements such balances and holds; and dynamic elements such as lifts, throws with complex somersaults and twists; and tumbling skills.

Pairs and group exercises must include human pyramids that are created by the gymnasts and must be held for three seconds to be scored; the pairs exercise must contain at least six partner-balance elements held for two seconds. Competitive Acrobatic Gymnastics consists of five group formations: Women's Pair and Men's Pair, Mixed Pair (male and female), Women's Group (three females) and Men's Group (four males). Each pair or group performs three routines - balance, dynamic, and combined - in competition.
