The footage taken on April 30, 2018, in Russia shows a very talented young girl showing off her talent at a local playground. Aided by what appears to be her sister and a strong piece of pink cloth, the girl twists her body left and right, holding the piece of cloth tightly in her grip. This discipline is called “Aerial Silks” or “Aerial Tissues” and is a newer type of aerial acrobatics. Founded in France, in the 1950’s, this discipline has nowadays become a real trend, a combination of creativity, exercising, flexibility and music which allows you to test your limits in a very unique way.

Russians have a long-lasting circus tradition dating from the middle ages. In olden Rus, traveling performers kept the public amused at village fairs; in the 19th century, Russia established a circus culture loved by aristocrats, while the Soviet authorities turned the circus into a high art form. This said, our skillful girl has nothing to fear. Her commitment to the goal and the healthy grounds she stands upon is a sure guarantee of success.
