| Description: | ACROBATIC GRACE Flexible acrobatic dancers Stadler and Rose do a routine involving much gymnastics. Even considering how many acrobatic dance performances we have, this one is quite impressive. United Kingdom LS couple dancing on stage, w/ floral decoration against back curtain. He wears dark trousers and short jacket, she wears matching sleeveless top and shorts over tights. They do lots of cool stunts- -lots of splits in various positions by the woman (f. ex. He lifts her up while she is holding legs frozen in straight vertical split. Very cool manoevre in which they execute in unison a backbend performed from knees, go from that to handstand and lift their bodies over in backward walkover. In another dramatic move, he is holding her hanging back over his shoulders w/ her back arched; she places her feet against his stomach and sits up; he leans back at a slight angle while holding onto her knees and she straightens out her body so she is sticking out at an angle w/ feet still on his stomach. He starts to bend backwards, lets go of her legs and she continues balancing standing on his stomach as he does a backbend. Lots more difficult stunts. | |
