I place the pyramids that I managed to find. For three, four and group pyramids. They can be considered both male and female and mixed. It is up to you to decide what to choose and for whom they are suitable.

As you can see, such tricks are already in the past, but everything new is well forgotten old.

These pyramids can be performed by both men and women, as well as joint. Triplets very often have one man and two women or two men and one woman, which greatly diversifies the trick repertoire.

The schemes are taken from different sources and therefore their quality is different, but this does not interfere with their execution.

Group pyramids are very rare today. Most often in Chinese groups. They also welcome group rooms. In Russia, and throughout the world, now all numbers are reduced to one or two performers. The reasons are purely economic. Foreign impresario, and ours as well, want two people to have 2-3 numbers, and this ruins the circus.

Sometimes you can see in the diagrams that they are simply far-fetched and have neither beauty nor complexity, but they awaken the imagination and are useful for this.

Next, photos of the pyramids for four performers and more will be placed. These pyramids can be used for mass events, anniversaries of the team. Where you need to show mass character. I mean pyramids for a large number of people. There, having one or two people who can stand on their hands, you can create very decent pyramids. And take the largest number of participants. These pyramids are used both in parades and in cavalcades. Threes and fours are mainly used in the arena, but in group acrobatic numbers one or two group pyramids are sometimes included. Among the Chinese, groups sometimes reach up to ten people or more.

Visible from the sky. Daniel Dancer's art projects usually involve hundreds or even thousands of participants. But it is absolutely impossible to understand the meaning of their actions while on the ground. There is only one way to evaluate the author's idea - by rising high into the sky.


The idea of ​​creating a project called "Art of the Sky" came to Daniel while traveling through South America and getting to know the Nazca lines - giant geometric and figured geoglyphs in southern Peru. Inspired by the creations of the Indian tribes, the author decided to do something similar himself. For several years he collaborated with Stan Head, who created huge drawings in the fields with a tractor, but one day it occurred to him unusual idea: working on another such image, Dancer invited 400 schoolchildren, dressed them in bright T-shirts and put the children in certain lines. However, this idea received its logical conclusion only ten years later, when the author created the first image as part of the Art of the Sky project.

To implement his next project, Daniel negotiates with the school administration, gives students bright multi-colored T-shirts and explains to whom, where and how to become. Additional elements of future images can be leaves, chopped tree bark, old clothes or things intended for recycling. When everything is ready on the ground, the author resorts to the help of a high crane or even a balloon to film everything from above with a photo and video camera. Daniel Dancer is sure that "only from the sky can one understand what is really happening on earth" - and this applies not only to his works.

Daniel Dancer is proud that children take part in his projects with great pleasure. “They wake up in the morning and tell their mother: “Today is the most important day of my life,” the author says with a smile. - And when mom asks why, the children answer: “Today I will be part of a crocodile!” Some wonder how Dancer manages to manage so many schoolchildren (and five thousand people took part in the author’s largest project), but Daniel assures that it’s easy: the main thing is to interest the children, and you can’t call his projects uninteresting.

Acrobatic pyramids can take the form of thematic formations depicting something, or they can simply be colorful productions of several people of different physical fitness. Pyramids for schoolchildren cannot be complicated, but they can also be colorful - on holidays it is possible to use costumes, flags, balloons.

Story

The organization of people into tiered structures in the past was necessary in military formations, when in this way assaults were carried out on fortresses with low walls. This tactic was especially common among the Romans, who could make such structures several floors high, forming a kind of flooring of the required height from shields, which was used so that the upper warriors could freely climb the enemy’s fortress wall.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, sports pyramids were also considered as part of military training, because they helped to unite the team, and also developed strength and endurance. Mass sports facilities made up of people, including children, were popular in the days of Tsarist Russia, in Soviet times they brought up a sense of the team in this way, not a single significant holiday could do without gymnastic pyramids in the 30s of the 20th century. People were also lined up in a sporting manner on moving platforms during parades.

Now the art of building sports acrobatic pyramids is being revived, even separate competitions are organized in which different schools take part. Of course, these exercises are used by support groups. sports teams to spice up your performances.

Application features

Pyramids are often used in sports competitions- they are made up of girls and boys of the support group (cheerleaders). But they can also be done on other holidays, made up of schoolchildren different words, numbers and drawings reflecting the theme of the holiday. Such pyramids can use poles, cubes and other devices that will help to create the necessary shape of the pyramid, while not burdening children too much, since additional devices take on the physical load.

Although the simplicity and safety of the pyramids is paramount, there is always a student who can perform complex acrobatics, such students can be well used to complete the pyramid in a spectacular way. In a pyramid, it is not necessary that everyone has a serious physical training, a few strong athletes can become the basis for a gymnastic pyramid, in the construction of which a large number of ordinary, not very trained children can be involved. At the heart of the successful construction of the pyramid and further performance are thorough training that will allow you to make sports facility multilayered and durable.
