In Xcel Bronze Floor Special Requirements, the Dance Passage must include which of the following?

• A. Minimum of two directly-connected acro elements (with or without flight)
• B. Dance Passage - Minimum of two different elements from Group 1 (leap/hop/jump) OR Group 1 - Bronze Elements Limited by Division Chart, one leap with a minimum 60° cross or side split
• C. 2nd Acro pass - minimum one acro element (with or without flight)
• D. Minimum 1/2 turn on one foot

Answer: (A)

In this Dance Passage, the key requirement is to have two acro elements performed in direct succession. This means the dancer moves from the first acro element straight into a second acro element without a non-acro step or pause in between, and it can include flight or not. The emphasis is on connecting acrobatic skills within the dance portion to show fluidity, control, and continuous content.

Why this fits best: it specifically tests the ability to link acrobatic elements within the Dance Passage, ensuring the routine demonstrates a seamless flow of acrobatics rather than isolated moves. The other options describe different parts of the routine (such as a second acro pass, or requirements about leaps or turns) that aren’t about the direct connection of two acro elements within the Dance Passage.
