Observing the human body push itself against the physical laws of the universe is an awe-inspiring sight — especially when Antigravity is involved. The New York-based dance company was founded in 1990, and has melded elements of traditional gymnastics, dance, and modern circus arts into its exciting playbook. Think of them as the Cirque du Soleil and Pilobolus for the cool kids who are into extreme everything. They are edgy, urban, and most of all, superior athletes. These competitive-level gymnasts (some were even Olympians) brought their advanced abilities to the troupe, then mastered the dance and entertainment techniques necessary to take their sport to a higher level of art.

Antigravity also happens to be hypnotically entertaining to watch, and the routines look like loads of fun to emulate. (Maybe you should go ahead and schedule a physical therapy appointment for after the performance. You might need it.)
