Definition  

Acrosport is a form of choreographed acrobatics involving 3 basic elements:  

  

• Making shapes or human pyramids  
• Strength, flexibility and balance  
• Parts of dance and gymnastics, jumps and pirouettes  

  

This is an acrobatic sport performed in groups. A combination of jumps and human pyramids are used. The body is used differently for each position.  

  

The stronger partner is the lifter (“portor”) and this person will lift the smaller, lighter partner (“ágil”).
