Acrobalance is an acrobatic art that combines elements of two other
arts: adagio and hand balancing. Adagio consists of partner lifts, usually
performed by a man and a woman, where the male lifts his female partner
in many different poses and positions. Acrobalance is the combination of the
two athletic art forms: adagio lifts combined with strong-man hand balancing
and partner acrobatics, such as double planches and partner handstands.
Acrobalance acts require a high degree of care, coordination, proprioceptive
awareness, and mutual trust from the performers in order to avoid injury.
Due to their extreme physical nature, acrobalance performances are usually
no longer than eight to ten minutes in length.
