Stilts: Standing Tall for Circus and Variety Shows

High-Quality Stilts at SchenkSpass

What are Stilts?

Stilts are extended walking aids worn under the feet to raise the wearer to a greater height. They are often used in circuses, variety shows, and by street performers to create impressive walkacts and performances. Stilt walkers stand out thanks to their height and often imaginative costumes, captivating audiences – especially children. Stilts are also used in schools and recreational settings to help children improve balance and coordination through play.

What Makes Good Stilts?

Good stilts are defined by their safety, stability, and comfort. The stilts offered at SchenkSpass Feature:

  • Secure stance: Unlike single-point stilts that require constant motion, these stilts allow for safe and stable standing without the need for continuous shuffling.
  • Double-secured interlock system: This system adds extra security and stability while walking.
  • Dual suspension: Provides greater comfort and smoother, more even movement.

These features make our stilts especially well-suited for use in circuses, variety shows, and by performers who spend extended time on stilts. They are ideal for walkacts where both secure footing and agility are key.

How Do You Learn to Walk on Stilts?

Walking on stilts requires a combination of balance, coordination, and patience. The learning process is best started with lower stilts to get used to the new sense of balance. The Actoy stilts at SchenkSpass are specially designed for schools and youth facilities, offering a great introduction – even for children as young as 6.
Here are some steps for learning to walk on stilts:

  1. Safety first: Practice in a safe environment with a soft surface or with someone to help stabilize you.
  2. Start low: Begin with the lowest height setting (35 cm) to get accustomed to standing tall.
  3. Find your balance: Focus on maintaining a steady posture and taking small steps to build confidence.
  4. Step by step: As walking becomes easier, you can take larger steps and try moving in different directions.
  5. Extend for height: Gradually increase the walking height (up to 60 cm) for a greater challenge.

With a little practice, stilt walking becomes an enjoyable and rewarding activity.
