4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Resource,
This review is from: Circus for Everyone: Circus Learning Around the World (Paperback)
The book provides an almost exhaustive list of the circus learning facilities currently running (as well as some that are no longer running). It is great for those interested in learning circus arts.
