Softcover. Condition: Very Good. What is acrobatics? In a nutshell, acrobatics is a unique performing art that is based on developing and displaying extraordinary physical skills. Although acrobatics is sometimes referred to as a type of dance, the two art forms are actually quite different. Dance uses movement to express emotions and ideas, while acrobatics strives to maximize the fascinating physical potential of the human body. Acrobatics also differs from sports, in that it relies on artistic performance rather than athletic prowess to enthrall its audience. Acrobatics transcends the narrow definition of physical stunts, employing a wide range of skills and techniques that run the gamut from conjuring and animal training to comedy, vocal imitation, puppetry, and shadow projection. This is why acrobatics was known in ancient China as "feats of the strange and wonderful" or the "Hundred Entertainments. ". 70 pages. Seller Inventory # 1573494
