How can people balance on rope then?

It is the same principle of centre of gravity that they use knowingly or unknowingly. Most of the times you might see these rope walkers holding a large stick or bamboo with them. Just as we used paper pins to balance our toy, they use this stick to constantly maintain their center of gravity.

It takes a lot of practice to build this skill, so not worth trying yourself without expert support.
