[[Tightrope walking]][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tightrope_walking] (English) and [[koorddans]][http://www.interglot.com/dictionary/nl/en/search?q=koorddans] ([[Dutch]] and [[Afrikaans]]) is a practice usually found as [[circus]] act or as a daredevil stunt, and refers to the art of walking (dancing or otherwise [[performer|performing]]) along a taught thin wire or rope. It is an old tradition in many countries and is also referred to by its Latin name as '''[[funambulism]]'''[http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/funambulism].

Related to it are the activities referred to as '''[[slack rope]] walking''', or '''[[slacklining]]'''.

The [[Dutch]] and [[Afrikaans]] term is [[koorddans]] and literally translated means "rope dancing", and a [[koorddanser]] is thus a [[tightrope walker]], -[[performer]] or -dancer, i.e. a "funambulist".

 [[Tightrope walking]][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tightrope_walking] (English) ('''[[Koorddans]]'''[http://www.interglot.com/dictionary/nl/en/search?q=koorddans] in [[Dutch]] and in [[Afrikaans]]) is the well-known art of walking along a taught, thin wire or rope (i.e. a [[tight rope]]). An awe inspiring acrobatic skill, it has a long tradition in many countries and is commonly associated with the [[circus]], [[music hall]] and [[vaudeville]].
 It is also a venerable form of extreme adventurism, with walkers attempting epic walks between high buildings, across the Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon, up the Eiffel Tower, etc.
