How to Run Away with the Circus
The circus arts are a major attraction for Las Vegas, but have you heard of the Las Vegas Circus Center? Where performers, celebrities, hobbyists and everybody else can take classes and practices their acrobatic skills. It is a true hidden gem in the city of glitz and glamour where the fundamentals of the performers we see all over the strip are honed and perfected. So our host Dayvid Figler invited acclaimed acrobat Scott McDonald, both instructor and student at the center, to tells us about the path and challenges associated with the pursuit of circus arts and how everybody can find a class for them at the Circus Center!
