AcroNation is an all-acro dance troupe created by former A-Trouper Thalia.

History[]

AcroNation is set up by Thalia after she returns from dancing on tour. She initially runs it from Studio 1, via an agreement that meant AcroNation were a recreational (non-competing) studio.[2]

Thalia initially doesn't plan to take her new studio to Regionals, but changes her mind when she finds about the wildcard competition at the Absolute Dance WildStylz convention. AcroNation competes with a trio and wins, successfully qualifying for Regionals.[3]

Thalia hires Eldon as AcroNation’s choreographer, after they are placed in the Senior Advanced Division for Regionals. [4]

Following a scheduling blunder, Emily, Michelle and Miss Kate all decide that they cannot have two competitive teams occupying the same building, as the original agreement was that the team renting Studio 1 would be non-competitive. They terminate AcroNation’s rental agreement and evict them, forcing them to find a new rehearsal space.[5]

Despite receiving a lower score in the hip-hop round, AcroNation performs well in the contemporary and ballet rounds at Regionals, scoring highly enough to qualify for the finals. They tie for second with The Next Step Dance Studio in the finals, however following the disqualification of Encore Dance Studio,[6] AcroNation competes in the tiebreaker round; they produce a near-faultless performance, but ultimately lose to The Next Step.[7]

Description[]

AcroNation consists entirely of acro dancers. Their training mostly focuses on improv, but they also work on performance-level routines.[2] Despite their seemingly "one-dimensional" style, they manage to perform solid hip-hop, contemporary and ballet routines at Regionals, allowing them to place second overall.[5][7]
