French term or phrase: tours
Hello,

Lukas Ivanowet Aaron Hakalaont développé ce numéro singulier à partir d’un concept simple : beaucoup d’espièglerie, 51 rotations et 13 tours, volutes ou torsions !

I'm having trouble with the specific circus terminology, so far I have found "torsions" to be "twists"
Does anyone know what "tours" would be in english please?

Thank you.

revolutions


Explanation:
The text seems to talk of "twists and turns", and this term appears to refer to "revolutions". An alternative could be "somersaults"?
