I see a lot of dancers, or fitness, but none that are of the gymnastics mold. 

Has anyone had any experiance with this?

Jasmine George is a contortionist and a fine art figure model ... also Allison Cattrall who sometimes shoots under Peltigera ... amongst other models on Community Zoe's website ... a lot of figure models are dancers, gymnasts, trapeze artists, etc.

I am thinking more along the lines of the physically demanding feats that could be artistic if shot right.  The following are along the lines, but I would like a more artsy feel to it.

Two of the girls in my port are gymnasts...
One only teaches, but the other competes.

They are both great for bondage! I just dont have any of the more demanding shots up.

Wenona: gymnastics in high school, and a yoga instructor now, get's in the most physically demanding positions with amazing ease, and grace.

I did a lot of floor and trampoline work when I was younger. I can still do most everything, except the splits. -_-

And my boyfriend (who is in 2 shots in my port) was also a gymnast. He can still do everything including the splits.

I can also do the splits while hanging from a moving aircraft by one hand...
