All these skills are valuable when looking to hire a dancer; I have never found a situation where knowing too much hinders a dancer's chance of becoming marketable. As always, safety should be the first priority when deciding where and how to train in acro.

How much acro is too much acro at competition?
Many times, acro and contortion move past true dance into walk and do a pose, or run into a trick, and the dance portion of the routine gets lost in the tricks. Just like the suggestion for advanced dancers to hide their preparation for turns, preparations for acro can be hidden and seamlessly integrated into a dance piece so that it doesnt turn into a gymnastics floor routine. All competitors are encouraged to attend the Masterclass event before the competition. Any number of acro/gymnastic tricks are permissible(KAR). If any soloist won their bid in youth but has a junior soloist season age for 2020-2021 season, they will be transferred to the junior/senior/open grouping. ICE Ultimate Dance Experience 2021 may have sessions (TBC).

Personally, when I choreograph an Acro dance, whether its a solo or a group, I set out to make the routine almost entirely composed of Acro skills as I feel that it stays true to the genre of Acro dance, and its much more interesting to watch. The contemporary dance genre is a bit different since it isnt codified in the way that modern, ballet, jazz, and lyrical dance are, and often fuses elements from more than one style.
It is what makes Acro stand out, and what keeps it unique. FunkyFoxDancewear Registration for solos/duos may close early, before any deadline, at any time, including for Championship events.

As I judge routines, I notice that an aerial cartwheel is almost as common as a pirouette in a routine.

I think the skill set necessary to execute acro work translates very well into the professional world; those that have acro skills have a strength and coordination unique to that craft, they are more likely to try new things with a better ease, understand the importance of safety and trust, and also have a better concept of using their bodies in space that others do not.

The acro skills themselves have definitely evolved and I have seen the technical element drastically improve as more people are finding new tricks to incorporate.
Events will not be cancelled in the event of poor or inclement weather. Not all dance competitions have the same specifications though. Jazz dance and Lyrical dance are entirely different genres of dance, and though they may have Acro tricks and moves inserted into the choreography, they are distinct, codified styles which have their own vocabulary of movement and specific requirements in the competitive world.
Failure to do this will result in disqualification without refund.

Essentially, most dancers who are successful in the professional world have cross trained in several styles of dance and related fields.
Novice is available for teams only (novice solos/duos are not available). From contortion, to weight sharing, to tumbling, in the dance competition world, acro skills have become more and more commonplace to show off power, flexibility and control. We may be able to offer exhibition slots for trios, subject to availability.
Will a dancer find success without acro? Thats not to say that we should frown upon putting Acro tricks into dances of other categories, but I think that its important to stay true to the genre of dance that you are choreographing, performing, teaching, etc. Since some people view contemporary as being open to interpretation and not confined to one style, some competitions (like KAR) allow unlimited Acro tricks in contemporary dance routines (much to the chagrin of many). I applaud Showstoppers for this description and these requirements for Acro dance, as I feel it supports the need for staying true to Acrobatics in an Acro dance. Great!
