WHAT IS ACROSPORT ?
Acrosport is an acrobatic
sport performed with a
partner or in groups,
which combines:
Human pyramids (always involve at
least a two-level structure, the base
being generally bigger than the top).
Figures (aesthetic formations made
by all the participants. There are no
different levels).
Gymnastic and choreographic
elements.
All this is accompanied by
music, which enhances the
expression.

The base
It is a stable, static or
dynamic base.
Their main features
are strength, stability

confidence in the base.
Projects the person at

Basic Group Large Group
Pyramid building rules
In the building , we must take into account three
phases:
1. The build-up
2. Stabilization
3. Dismantling the structure
First Phase: The Build Up
We must start building from the center to the
sides. The last parts are the upper levels.
It is important to have verbal communication
between partners.
The top, during the climb, must ascend as
attached as possible to the base to avoid
unbalance.
Second Phase: Stabilization
The position must always be held. Structures
must last at least three seconds.
Third Phase: Dismantling
Should always be in reverse to the building.
1. Music
The music lasts for at least three minutes.
1. Links
should always be
one figure to
another with
acrobatics, dance
steps or
movements.

1. Helpers
As important for
ascension as for
placement and
descension
Students who take
part will also aid in
the figure, as well
as decorating the
figure or making
other figures.

4. Figures
I give a number of basic figures on sheets, which you
can use, but creativity is valued.
All the figures, once completed, should be held for at
least three seconds.
