Aerial straps

The brothers started their performance careers as part of a Russian illusionist’s magic show.During a show in Rostov-on-Don in 1969, Vladivien Levshin, the Rubanov Company’s acrobatic coach, saw their athleticism and potential and began training them to perform what was to become a milestone act in the history of the apparatus.These new elements, not to mention the brothers’ elegance and resemblance, added a new level of grace and beauty to the balletic nature of the apparatus.In 1983 the brothers performed at the International Circus Festival of Monte-Carlo but were largely ignored by the judges, receiving only the City of Monaco prize.Valery continued on the Panteleenko Brothers act, taking on Igor Gruzen as Yuri’s replacement.
