Sweet Pea has really been getting into cirque and arial skills these last few years. CC has too, but Sweet Pea has a year's head start on her, plus her gymnastics experience gives her a leg up. This spring, Sweet Pea has been featured in several cirque events.
The first was a production called Spring Forward, and it was a variety show choreographed by students at the studio. Sweet Pea was in two numbers: a partner-acro duet, and a group dance/tumbling routine. We had fun watching her, and as usual, she beamed the entire time.
Her second show was in honor of International Circus Day. Her studio hosted a day-long event highlighting performers from all kinds of international dance and aerial traditions. We saw garba dancers from India, a belly dancer from Egypt, an aerial straps performer from Russia, a scarf dancer from China, and hula dancers from Polynesia. Sweet Pea and one of her friends were asked to demonstrate trapeze (from France). Trapeze has been Sweet Pea's favorite apparatus this year, but it was our first time seeing her perform. She was impressive!
