Straps
Aerial straps is a circus discipline performed on two long straps suspended from a single point. The artist uses loops at the ends of the straps to support the wrists and hands while performing lifts, holds, twists, swings, inversions, and dynamic movements in the air.
It is a highly demanding apparatus that relies heavily on strength, control, coordination, and conditioning. Aerial straps is especially known for its powerful movements, clean lines, and physically intense style.
