Throwback to being an Acro Balance Base

Hi everyone

today Facebook has informed me of this memory from 7 years ago.

How it all started

When I was in my early 20s I was surrounded by a lot of circus people. I was fire breathing at this time and training at a gymnastics club.

Anesta had just moved to London from a touring circus and I was still all over the place trying out different ways to perform and express myself. We used to have the same agent which was a circus and variety agent that asked us if we knew someone who can do an acrobalance act. We obviously said: Oh we can do that.

We started training a few times a week together trying out different lifts and a few months later we had our act together. Anesta also already was making her own costumes so we had that covered also.

However not everything went went well:

This is pure entertainment, I loved watching both videos and especially the last one.
Thank you for creating such a nice post!
Maybe not for the dance contest but you can share any of your old videos for the "Dance and have fun" or "Dance party" project. You could share any of your old dance videos for the dance contest as an unofficial entry if you wish.
Hopefully, you will receive more upvotes for this great post.

Thanks, I am glad you like the videos! it seems like a lifetime ago! 7 years was a long time but it was nice for me to dwell in those memories because I haven't watched these videos for years!
