Aerial Straps
by Melise Avion
Looking for an aerial act with a difference?
Aerial Straps is an apparatus that demands great strength & body control. Often compared to the aerial rings in gymnastics, the straps have a hand loop at the end, rather than rings attached. Due to the upper body strength required to master this apparatus, it is commonly performed by men however Melise brings a feminine touch to this strong apparatus with elegant movement & beautiful lines.
