Listening and thinking are important, both in learning circus skills, and in setting up a performance. In staging acts, and mounting shows, the job of a director is a complex one. Your ability to listen and remember in the face of constant changes is a mark of your professionalism. A gym is filled with opportunities for injury. All Cirkids must comply with safety instructions.
Circus performers are performers for life.
Injuring yourself or another through carelessness is not acceptable. Being on time is important, because the rest of the troupe will end up waiting on those who are late, or miss rehearsals. At the end of the day, if it isn't fun, it isn't worth it. Remember what you're aiming for, and be proud of what you've done. Cirkids works for many different kids.
