Aerial Straps

Key features of the discipline:

• The apparatus consists of two parallel straps with loops or collars at the ends.
• It combines elements of gymnastics, dance, and aerial acrobatics.
• Training emphasizes upper body and core strength, flexibility, and control.
• Movements range from static positions (e.g., iron cross, planche) to dynamic skills (e.g., rolls, swings, drops).
• Straps can be performed solo or in duo, often highlighting precision, symmetry, and power.
  

It is considered one of the most technically demanding aerial disciplines, often compared to aerial silks or rings but requiring even greater control and strength.
