Heels worn in circus acts

Just browsing through Youtube and came upon 3 circus acts where the performer wore heels during the act.

The first one using low heels of about 2 inches on a rola-bola. Normally a difficult balancing act in normal shoes:-

The 2nd one is a tight wire act where the young lady puts on heels of about 3 inches and walks the wire by searching for the wire with her toe and then puts the heel down.

The 3rd is also on the tight wire but this time the heels of about 3 inches are slimmer and she puts the heel on the wire first. It looks quite precarious to me and you can see her concentration is intense. A superb display of poise and balance.

Not quite the same, but a good display of wire-walking in ballet pointe shoes. The action starts at about 2.00 into the video. The time will come when someone will be filmed doing this most difficult act in ballet-boots

I wonder how many other films are on youtube showing heels being used for unusual feats of balance and poise?
