Acrobalance

Acrobalance is a floor-based acrobatic art that involves balances, lifts and creating shapes performed in pairs or groups.

[1] A performer on the ground doing the lifting and supporting in an acrobalance formation is often called the base, while a performer being lifted or tossed can be referred to as the flyer (or flier).

Formats include male/female duo, trio, female/female, and other variations.

Acrobalance acts require a high degree of care, coordination, proprioceptive awareness, and mutual trust from the performers in order to avoid injury; they are often set to music and performed as part of circuses.

Acrobalance is the combination of the two athletic art forms:
