I’m taking a summer intensive course at wise fool new mexico in Santa Fe. (www.wisefoolnm.org) I attend 3 times a week for three hours a session.

We’re learning:
Aerials (fabric, trapeze and cirque)
Stilts
Acrobatics
Tumbling
Juggling
Plate spinning
Hat tricks
Clowning

So far, I would say that this is the best 500 I’ve ever spent, except perhaps my skates. The course is serious, intensive and really physically challenging in a way that I did not expect. Hurray, Circus!
