Adili Wuxor walks on a tightrope about 400-meter long steel wire. It looks so danger high around 300 meters in Mt. Wuling’s Great Rift Valley. He danced while he was walking on the rope. Tightwire is the art of maintaining balance while walking along a tensioned wire between two points. It can be done either using a balancing tool (umbrella, fan, balance pole, etc.) or "freehand", using only one’s body to maintain balance. Typically, tightwire performances either include dance or object manipulation. Object manipulation acts include a variety of props in their acts, such as clubs or rings, hats or canes. Tightwire performers have even used wheelbarrows with passengers, ladders, and animals in their act. The technique to maintain balance is to keep the performer’s centre of mass above their support point - usually their feet.
