The Dynamic Flying Pole project is born from the desire to radically change the way of considering the flying pole discipline, which is being re-evaluated and enriched with new acrobatic elements derived from the repertory of the Chinese pole circus discipline.
Through in-depth research and the support of a dedicated team of specialists and technicians, I spent the last five years exploring and stabilizing dynamic tricks on the swinging aerial pole, with a particular focus on release-and-catch movements. The most notable among these are the front flip, back flip, back support plank twist, pencil twist, and front/back/side rolls.
A challenging project, to forge a unique and dynamic flying pole style!
