Ball is by tradition an elegant and “lyrical” rather than a dynamic apparatus. This means that a more sensuous relationship between the body and the apparatus is required. The ball moves in perfect harmony with the body. Spectacular throws with control and precision in the catches, bouncing and rolling over the body or on the floor are dynamic elements. Handling includes “thrusts”, swings, circles, figure eight or “flip overs”. The ball is the only apparatus where no grip is allowed.
