| Getting used to being tightly strapped into a wooden contraption with 4 foot 8 inch limbs takes time and practice. Stilt walking strengthens the body where it's most needed, mainly the quadracepts and calves. Balance and coordination are mastered and skills such as dancing, rhythm, stepping, pirouettes, leaping, jumping, kicking, and splits can be used in entertainments and performance. Tumbling and injury prevention is an important element in silts training. The more confident the stilt walker the more inspiring to the audience. |
