An ACROBAT is a performer of gymnastic feats, typically involving the use of balance, agility, and coordination. Acrobats often perform in circuses, on stage, or as part of a street performance. Acrobats are highly skilled athletes who can perform a variety of stunts, such as flips, handstands, and somersaults. Acrobats have been performing for centuries, and their art form has evolved over time to include more complex and dangerous stunts.
