Aerial Pole
Also called Mât volant, Flying Pole
Flying pole is a circus discipline performed on a pole suspended in the air. Unlike a fixed pole, the apparatus can move and swing, adding an aerial dimension to climbs, holds, spins, transitions, and dynamic movements.
It combines elements of pole, dance, and aerial acrobatics, requiring strength, coordination, balance, control, and body awareness. Flying pole is known for its powerful movement quality and for the unique challenge of working on a moving apparatus.
