Customer Reviews

See regular kids performing in circus acts.

A down to earth look at the inside of a circus school for kids and teens. Color photos capture real action in circus shows and rehearsals at summer camps and family resorts around the world. Acts are explained in simple terms, though book fails to take you to the "next step" of putting on your own show.
