2009 PERU CIRCUS, 2nd Half  Submitted by Jim Cole on   8/3/2009 Last Modified  FROM CANAL STREET to BROADWAY "Everyone please return to your seats for the equally exciting 2nd half of the 2009 Peru Amateur Circus!" During intermission, the kids are offered a wide range of snacks and cold drinks served by back stage circus volunteers. The young performers in an act called "Low Casting" this year trained by Kristi Eddy. Many of these youngsters will go on to Flying Trapeze in a few years.   Left: Putting on the chalk...and plenty of it! Right: A perfect ankle catch. Chalk particles fill the air during "Low Casting".  Plenty of adult spotters in place to assure their safety! Each flyer has a unique dance routine to celebrate a well executed trick and return to the pedestal.     Balancing Perch, not seen at the Peru Circus for many years. "Revolving Ladder", also called "Shoot Though" Notice the "glitter guns" in the hands of the aerialists.     Left:  Two 23 foot Perch Poles at one time! Right:  A broken arm won't keep her out of the show!     Another act that had not been performed for years..."Neck Loop" A very difficult two person neck support.     "Aerial Silks", an act that made it's debut in the Peru Circus only just last year. Hand Balancing in the center ring.     Graceful maneuvers followed by a "Style & Smile". The Circus City Jugglers! High Wire drama...stepping over, ever soooo carefuly Bicycle / chair pyramid on the high wire.     Left: 3 high pyramid.  Right: standing two high on a giraffe unicycle. Walking forward and backwards, two high after complteing a three girl shoulder to shoulder jump that involved all 9 wire walkers. Their final trick, the daring 7 all girl pyramid! "The Ladies of the Silver Strand" , the 2009 Peru Circus High Wire act. With trainer and ground crew in the background.     "Hey Look Me Over" played by the circus band as young circus performers make their final walk around. Adult Peru Circus Alumni members get to be kids again as they join today's young performers in a final walk-around!  A new Peru Circus tradition. ...And, an after show pool party for the kids!
