Russian Swing Acrobatic Show
A giant swing, a team of acrobats and one breathtaking moment of release. In our Russian Swing show, the swing builds up speed until an acrobat is launched high into the air, flips and twists, and lands to the cheers of the crowd. It is classic circus at its most spectacular – an adrenaline rush your audience feels from the very first swing.
Check availabilityWhat happens in the show
The acrobats work as a team to drive the swing higher and higher, while the music and tension build. At the top of each swing, a performer is launched into the air for flips, twists and combinations, and each jump is bigger than the last. The finale is the highest and most daring jump of the show. Every launch is controlled by experienced acrobats who train together as a team.
