This weekend, don't miss showcase work from the Philadelphia School of Circus Arts. Rumor has it the show is spectacular, sometimes sweet and and in the case of the aerial dance choreographed by renowned Louise Gillette, positively primordial too. (Think a dance without gravity, and just feet from your face.) Both faculty and students (and there are 250 of them) are represented in the show, which has changed daily throughout the week. Also look for Kyle & Kravitz, the delightful new partnership of emerging juggler Kyle Driggs with seasoned percussionist Ron Kravitz. More than a delight. More than rhythm. More than you think. Gillette's work is the closing act of the evening shows. All shows last one hour, and kids are welcome. To get more excited, check out our photo gallery below!

I have to keep reminding myself to breathe, and my blood is all rushing to my head with a feeling that can only be described as intense. I’m hanging upside down from a trapeze suspended from the rafters at the Philadelphia School of Circus Arts in Germantown, trying to remember whether I wore a cute bra, because it’s about to be exposed to everyone in the building. My underwear should actually be the least of my worries right now, because I still have to figure out how to get back up and safely dismount.
