pivbusking

Pivbusking is a form of street performance that combines elements of busking and pivots, a dance style characterized by its use of a pivot board. The term "pivbusking" was coined by the Dutch street performer and pivoter, Piv. It refers to the act of performing pivots on a pivot board while busking, typically in public spaces such as streets, parks, and markets. Pivbusking is a unique blend of physical performance art, dance, and music, often incorporating elements of acrobatics and juggling.

The pivot board, also known as a pivot disc or pivot plate, is a circular, concave surface that allows performers to execute a variety of tricks and stunts. Pivbusking often includes a musical accompaniment, with performers using instruments such as a tambourine, maracas, or a small drum to create a rhythmic backdrop for their pivots. The combination of music and movement creates a dynamic and engaging performance that can captivate audiences of all ages.

Pivbusking has gained popularity in recent years, with performers sharing their skills and techniques through social media platforms and online tutorials. The art form has also been featured in various street performance events and festivals, showcasing the creativity and skill of pivbuskers around the world. Despite its growing popularity, pivbusking remains a niche form of street performance, with a dedicated community of enthusiasts who appreciate the unique blend of music and movement that defines this art form.
