@groo101 Been a while since I've been able to post but wanted to share a little bit of circus life so here is a video of my performance in my second week as part of Circus Aotearoa

@groo101 Does that set up feel very stable?

@dawn16 Totally different person. Different cirque shows and massively different expertise.
