Step right up, Step right up! Get ready to learn all about that show in the Big Top tent: The Circus.  Beginning in ancient Rome, this ancient form of entertainment has delighted crowds throughout the ages.  However, the circuses of ancient Rome were nothing like we see today in the era of Circque Du Soliel. How are they different? What has changed about the Circus throughout its long history? How hard is it to learn to juggle?  These questions and many others will be explored in this class. Students will explore circus history as they learn some of the skills featured real Circus shows. Students will learn: juggling, balloon animal making, basic magic tricks, and how to perform basic clowning skits.

This class is a blend of : History, Physical/Creative play, Public Speaking/ Performance Skills
