Host Jacquelyn Posted September 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Just off Harmony and I am completely fascinated by the twirling guy from the Aqua show. What a unique skill. Does he have a stand in for when he's away or do they change the show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he have a stand in for when he's away or do they change the show? That was fascinating! I was so intrigued, I looked up his performance on YouTube when I got home! We were on in May.

I heard he was previously in Vegas with Cirque du Soleil. What will they do when his contract is up?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted September 2, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I timed it, 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinxyB Posted September 2, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I was amazed by the spinning guy, too. I saw him in the buffet one night and chatted with him briefly. I can’t remember his name, but he is from Spain I think. I googled him when I got home and found some videos on YouTube. Very talented!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ReneeFLL Posted September 3, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 3, 2018 It's amazing he can do it that long, but he lost my attention after the first couple of minutes. I thought he was going to do something really cool so I watched it for about 8 minutes and that was torture. Not to take away from him because not many people probably have tried to spin that long, but it definitely wasn't for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveToTravel74 Posted September 5, 2018 #14 Share Posted September 5, 2018 He is amazing! I also love the slack line guys- what incredible balance!! The aqua shows are absolutely worth seeing on the Harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Shippy Posted September 5, 2018 #16 Share Posted September 5, 2018 He is probably a Whirling Dervish.......look it up on google The Dervish practice is an ancient custom from a part of the middle east. They actually go into a trance while whirling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to take away from him because not many people probably have tried to spin that long, but it definitely wasn't for me. I would have to agree with you, I just watched the You Tube Video and about a minute and a half in I turned it off. We are sailing on the 25th Nov I wonder if he will still be on then. If so I may pass on that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does the 10 minutes of spinning prior to the show starting, while people are getting their seats. I didn't really take much notice of him until I realized he was spinning for over 5 minutes. The show was fantastic, don't let this discourage you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinCons Posted September 7, 2018 #20 Share Posted September 7, 2018 On Harmony last September I spoke with one of the cast members about the spinning guy - she said that he does a meditation type of thing when he spins. It's really cool how he does it. He's tried to teach others but it takes years of practice to get into the trance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't really take much notice of him until I realized he was spinning for over 5 minutes. The show was fantastic, don't let this discourage you. When I saw the show he did spinning throughout the show not just the pre show. In my opinion it took away from the real show.

Overall it was a pretty good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
