Who are or were the best acrobats in the world?

User Avatar

Asked by Darlin1inflorida

It depends how you evaluate what a good acrobat is. But good candidates could be acrobats from the Shanghai Acrobatics Troup, acro gymnastics champions (from Ukraine or Russia), or very high level gymnasts or trampolinists. A lot of it is about your criterion, but I'd definitely say it's either the Chinese or Eastern Europeans. Both are excellent acrobats.

These two examples represent a very high level of acrobatics. There have been even better acrobats, but not that many, and they mostly came from the same regions of the world.

Why does a man hold a pole while doing a high-wire act?

User Avatar

Asked by Anovia

A person can keep in balance with a very long pole while doing a high-wire act. If the person feels like he or she is about to fall off the rope on the left side, the person would move the pole to the right to stay in balance. The same thing with vice-versa.

How tall is a woman acrobat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

a woman acrobat can be any height, as long as you're willing to commit the time and energy to practicing. Acrobats practice up to 8 hours a day and rehearsals can be as long as twelve hours. I am an acrobat and I'm 5' 2'', but I know there's others who are as tall as 6' 2''. =)

Un carré est tu un trapèze?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Un carré n'est pas un trapèze à cause de les mesures différencis du trapèze et les angles de différents degrees.

Plusieurs personnes croivent que les carré sont des trapèzes mais sa ne fera aucun sense. Mon mari est un mathématicien et connais l'explication logique de cela et c'est simplement parce que les carrés ont des angles droits de 90 degrees et des côtés parallèles comme les rectangles ou des losanges mais les trapèzes ont seulement une paire de côtés parallèles.

merci, bonne chance avec la réponse.

cela est certainement la bonne réponse

Try theme from Exodus. Nice Tune Terry. Nope, not even close dude! I figured it out on my own-- it's a thing by a Mexican composer named Juventino Rosas, called "Sobre las Olas" (Over the Waves). Thanx for trying, anyway. Bob C.
