What is Aerial Rope?
Aerial rope, also known as corde lisse, is a form of aerial performance involving acrobatics performed on a vertically hanging rope. This discipline requires strength, agility, and flexibility as the performer climbs, twists, and drops on the rope to execute various moves and poses.
Corde lisse routines can be quite dynamic and fluid, often incorporating spins, drops, and intricate wraps. Performers use their grip and body strength to maneuver gracefully on the rope, creating a captivating spectacle.
