In our shows we deny the laws of nature as we make technical summersaults, choreographic moves and breathtaking feats over a skipping rope, moving flag and hoops on fire. Acrobatics is the performance of extraordinary feats of balance, agility, and motor coordination. It can be found in many of the performing arts, sports (sporting) events, and martial arts. Acrobatics is most often associated with activities that make extensive use of gymnastic elements, such as acro dance, circus, and gymnastics, but many other athletic activities — such as ballet and diving — may also employ acrobatics.
