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

• A. It must include two directly-connected acro elements (with or without flight).
• B. It must include three acro elements from Group 1.
• C. It must avoid any leaps.
• D. It must start with a leap.

Answer: (A)

In this item, the focus is on what Bronze Floor Special Requirements demand for the Dance Passage. The key requirement is that the Dance Passage must include two acro elements performed in direct succession—two acro elements directly connected, with no intermediate dance steps between them. The pair can include flight or be on the ground, as it says “with or without flight.” This creates a continuous, fluid acro connection within the dance portion.

Why this is the best choice: it matches the rule exactly—two acro elements that flow directly into each other, allowing either both to have flight or not, but always without a pause in between. The other options misstate or add requirements not present in the rule: it does not require three acro elements from Group 1, it does not ban leaps in the Dance Passage, and it does not mandate starting with a leap.
