Acrobatics
Acrobatics is an infusion of choreography and complex acrobatic skills performed in partnership.
With no apparatus, the gymnasts work in harmony and trust, each responsible for their partner or partners. It is a true and testing examination of human relationships and a graphic example of the level of achievement possible working in unison with others.
Exercises performed on a standard gymnastic floor require strength, agility, flexibility, balance and acrobatic skills. The results are spectacular, intricate balances performed on partners, exciting multiple somersaults and twisting somersaults with partners being pitched and caught. A requirement and opportunity to express their artistry and individual gymnastics skills makes this a delight for spectators, and a tremendous feeling of attainment for gymnasts.
