The Dance Trapeze is a highly configurable apparatus for dynamic, flowing and dance-based movement. It always has two suspension points. These can be rigged separately, but for its typical application they are primarily joined at one central anchor point. When combined with a suitable swivel, this configuration allows controlled rotational movement.
At a glance:
Two suspension points, six bar configurations, a 25 mm stainless-steel bar, selectable bar width and rope length, and 24 mm hemp or cotton ropes.
Bar configurations
The bar can be adapted to the intended application in terms of weight, construction and side extensions:
| Configuration | Description |
|---|
| 10 cm stainless-steel weights | Bar with fixed 10 cm weights at both ends |
| Detachable 10 cm stainless-steel weights | Weights can be fitted or removed depending on the intended application |
| 10 cm extensions | Extended working areas measuring 10 cm on each side |
| 12 cm extensions | Extended working areas measuring 12 cm on each side |
| Solid bar | Solid bar configuration without additional side extensions |
| Solid bar with 12 cm extensions | Solid bar with additional 12 cm working areas on each side |

Rigging
The Dance Trapeze always has two suspension points, irrespective of the final rigging arrangement. For typical rotational use, both suspension points are joined at one central anchor point using suitable connectors. Alternatively, they can be rigged separately at two points. The anchor point, swivel and all connectors must be suitable for the expected static and dynamic loads.
