Its not the school teachers, its the parents who do not want their children 
to be forced to exercise, or strive to be the best.

the innate capability of the human body is always impressive.

if only school teachers actually *cared* about physical education throughout
the 12 years.....
more people would keep what they were born with.

lovely photos!

I encountered these talented folks performing at a local shopping centre.
They are from Aerial Angels agency based on our Gold Coast.
They were very pleased when I returned the next day with a pile of prints
for them. I got to shoot their show that day from inside their performance
area. Cool!

Some talented, fun, vibrant dancers and enormously fit and skilled acrobats.
The star of the show was Shamara who performed on a hoop and suspended by
bolts of cloth (silks). Absolutely remarkable flexibility, strength and
grace, constantly in motion and suspended only by the friction of the
wrapped cloth for much of the shows.
M9 , 50 and a 75, largely 1000 ISO. Not so easy with manual focus and wider
apertures!
