Funambulism, or tightrope walking, is a circus skill that focuses on balance, control, and concentration, often using a balancing pole for extra support. Whether on a traditional tightrope or a low slackline, it helps build core strength, focus, and confidence. These skills turn a simple rope into a platform for creative expression and exciting performances.
