WHAT IS CYR WHEEL ACROBATICS?

Cyr wheel acrobatics is a circus discipline where a performer uses a large, single metal hoop to perform a combination of acrobatics, dance, and manipulation. Performers stand inside the wheel and use their body to spin, roll, and glide across the floor, requiring balance, core strength, and control. The act is both a physical workout and a stunning visual performance that is both graceful and daring.

This video from YouTube demonstrates the basic skills and movements involved in Cyr wheel acrobatics.  This is NOT The Motley Misfits.  Offered only to demonstrate the Cyr Wheel and what you might expect.
