The Spanish web involves a long, cloth covered rope with a loop attached near the top that a performer climbs and inserts either their foot or wrist into the loop. A spinner at the bottom spins the rope, and centrifugal force holds the performer mostly horizontal as they move their bodies in relation to the rope. They can release the spinning rope and spin separately at the same speed as the rope.


The photos below are of Ariel Rose performing her spanish web act.  The act is approximately 4-5 minutes long and can be performed to a variety of music choices.
