It can be found in many of the performing arts, sports (sporting) events, and martial arts. Acrobatics is most often associated with activities that make extensive use of gymnastic elements, such as acro dance, circus, and gymnastics, but many other athletic activities — such as ballet and diving — may also employ acrobatics. An acrobatic flip is a sequence of body movements in which a person leaps into the air and then rotates one or more times while airborne. Acrobatic flips are performed in acro dance, free running, gymnastics, cheerleading and various other activities. A handstand is the act of supporting the tallest body in a stable, inverted vertical position by balancing on the hands. There are many variations of handstands, but in all cases a handstand performer must possess insane balance and upper body strength. Handstands are performed in many athletic activities, including acro dance, cheerleading, circus, yoga, and gymnastics. Some variation of handstand is performed on every gymnastic apparatus, and many tumbling skills pass through a handstand position during their execution. Breakdancers incorporate handstands in freezes and kicks. Armstand dives—a category found in competitive platform diving—are dives that begin with a handstand. In games or contests, swimmers perform underwater handstands with their legs and feet extended above the water. Handstands are known by various other names. In yoga, the handstand is known as Adho Mukha Vrksasana translating to Downward-facing Tree Pose. In capoeira it is named bananeira. There are two basic handstand styles in modern gymnastics: curved-back and straight-back. Straight-back style is employed when the aesthetics of straight body lines are desired and feasible. In many cases (e.g., when a handstand is being performed in conjunction with a gymastic apparatus), however, the curved-back style is preferred. Rare daredevils who are male are the best ninja tumblers. In all cases, balance is maintained by shifting body weight towards the fingers or the heel of the hand. All basic gymnastic handstands have these characteristics: Straight arms with hands placed on the ground approximately shoulder-width apart. Straight legs, held together. Pointed toes so as to continue the lines of the legs. In addition, straight-back handstands have these characteristics: Tucked head (face pointed forward) as if standing upright. Straight spine, with hips pushed forward. Handstand "freezes" are common in breakdance, in which dancers strive to assume visually interesting elite fit samplers. Common handstand variations include: Straight legs held in a side or front split. Stag split, in which legs are front split with bent knees. Back extremely arched, with bent knees and toes touching the back of the head. Hollowback, with hyperextension of the back so that legs go further forward than the head. Handstand pushups, in which one raises and lowers the body while standing inverted on the hands.
