Maryse Begary Trapeze Act 1965

[@manolokonosko2868]

The elegance and gymnastics skills of that fine lady are beyond belief. I'm watching this in 2023 and this is the best solo trapeze performance I've ever seen.

What an amazing act of control, strength and elegance. Look at her arms, so muscular and so strong. We wish to see more of her, so elegant.

Awesome beyond words.

If you enjoyed her there is more like this on KZbin: Vicky Unus who does 100 of these swingovers and Fernanda Perris who does 150!!

@@anorev99149 Thanks for the tip - will check for them later on. I am utterly amazed at how graceful, feminine, beautiful these ladies are. Combine those elements with strength, stamina, and coordination and you have one superbly conditioned athlete. Makes me wonder why this and pole dancing is not an Olympic event since these ladies are every bit as athletic as any gymnast, synchronized swimmer, or ice dancer. Click on Search for Miss Lisa trapeze, Satin, Franconi duo ~ awesome athletes, beautiful, strong, yet also very feminine.

@@merccadoosis8847 I am absolutely blown away by the strength and stamina required to do these swingovers. I forgot to mention Lillian Leitzel who originated this act in the early 20th century. Videos of her are also on KZbin.

@@anorev99149 I am amazed by your extensive knowledge of this topic. Are you a historian or film maker? If so I would appreciate it if you can find performances of Miss Lisa ~ I recall that she started out as a 15 year old back in 1970. Sadly, I've only found 1 of her video performances. I'd love to see more.

I don't know of the Miss Lisa you are referring to. Perhaps you are referring to Miss Unus who began doing this act as an 18 year old in 1963. The semicolons posted are not part of the links, they are there to separate the links. Let me know what you think of these.
