Static Trapeze

Static trapeze
, also known as fixed trapeze, is a type of circus art performed on the trapeze. In contrast to the other forms of trapeze, on static trapeze the bars and ropes mainly stay in place.

Most often, the static trapeze is about 1.5 feet wide. The ropes are at least two human lengths, as many figures are performed on the ropes, above the bar. The ropes can be made of many materials, including cotton or hemp, and often have a wire woven inside.



List of basic Static Trapeze moves:

* Knee hang
* Bird's nest
* Angel
* Parakeet
* Side saddle
* Catcher's Lock
* Skin the cat
* One-legged Russian roll
* Russian roll
* Mermaid

Self-Standing Trapezes can also be purchased for home use.
