Question

Trapeze artists have been a part of circuses for over a century. They can fly from one high platform to another using a trapeze. A trapeze is a bar hung between two ropes. This allows the artist to fly across an empty space.
The flying trapeze act was created by Jules Leotard. He was the son of a gymnastics instructor. While at his father’s school, Leotard put a bar between two cables. From that moment, he had created the art of trapeze. He first performed his act in 1859 at the Cirque Napoleon. Leotard was able to do acrobatic tricks going from one trapeze to the next. People were so amazed by his act that he inspired the song "The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze." He even created a piece of clothing that still bears his name. Many dancers and gymnasts still wear leotards today.
