From Central Jersey’s Home News Tribune
“Circus Around the World allows the pupils – and the audience- to travel to exotic locales without ever leaving the building. The children perform as tumblers, clowns, acrobats, flamenco dancers, wirewalkers, plate twirlers, bullfighters and jugglers.
The circus theme is incorporated into the schools curriculum, with pupils learning about their designated countries in art, music, and writing classes. Pupils also study facts about the countries including history, language, food, people and tourist attractions.”
