acrobatics

In India, Mallakhamb — which translates to “wrestler’s pole” — emerged around the 12th century as a sport combining yoga, wrestling and aerial acrobatics.

They are known for their spectacular winter acrobatics, flying in huge flocks or murmurations.

Muthnick and Kohan were just as sad to see the bit go because it captured in miniature the comedic acrobatics Bomer is called on to perform throughout the show’s first season.

Other highlights include opera incorporating circus performers for a fusion of music and acrobatics in Orpheus And Eurydice, and Breaking Bach - where hip-hop meets 18th-century period instruments.

When I watch “America’s Got Talent,” I guess I’m watching the future of Olympics sports — human/dog acrobatics, human pyramids, acrobats spinning 30 feet up in the air, complex acrobatic dance groups, etc.
