Doing acro and artistic

[Paint A Melody]

This year, I've started to become interested in acrobatic gymnastics. I am thinking about joining, but I don't want to quit artistic either. So my questions are: about how many hours do acro gymnasts practice weekly? Is doing both feasible? Also, is there anywhere you can find a list of gyms that participate in acro? I haven't heard of any acro gyms where I live, and the list on the USA gymnastics page doesn't seem accurate.

Thanks!

I've been doing acro for a year and I train 8 1/2 hours a week. I had artistic experience as well so when I started acro I was training 2 1/2 hours a week. I think acro is good if you enjoy the graceful side of gymnastics rather than the tumbling side or if you prefer working in teams instead of by yourself. I definitely have more confidence performing in a group than by myself.
