Skilled gymnastic movements like flips, somersaults, and balancing tricks, often performed as entertainment.
From French 'acrobatie,' from Greek 'akron' (peak/tip) + 'bainein' (to walk). Literally means 'walking on the tips of the body,' referring to balance and flexibility.
Ancient acrobats performed for Egyptian pharaohs over 4,000 years ago, and modern circus acrobats push human biomechanics so far that they can flip while riding unicycles on tightropes!
