Are you looking for a great day out with the family and live in the CT/NY Metro Area? Then, why not check out the UniverSoul Circus coming to New Haven Oct.21-23. My husband and I took in this amazing show last year when they stopped in Boston, and had a great time. What sets this circus apart from others is the high-energy and music they use to bring the crowd to their feet. We couldn't stop clapping and cheering for the acts, and wanted more! When I found out that it was coming to New Haven, I knew that I had to get tickets and bring Savannah this year. Last year, I was pregnant with her and she was dancing in my belly the entire now. Now, this year, she will be dancing right alongside us, enjoying the UniverSoul Circus. I have attached the press release announcing the stop in New Haven, so you can learn more.
Stay tuned after October 23 (the day we are heading to the show), as I will be sharing my review of the show and including photos for all to see.
So, what are you waiting for? Head on over to Ticketmaster to order your tickets today -- before the shows sell out!!!!

The UniverSoul Circus line up for 2011 will flat out blow you away. New acts include the beautiful and enchanting Rahel of Ethiopia will twist and turn her way into our hearts with a cutting edge presentation of contortion we like to call Pretty Girl Rocks. If that’s not enough we traveled all the way to Dalian, China to unearth Modern Biker Girls, a group of amazing young ladies who will put any extreme biker to shame with their amazing two-wheel, non-motorized, dexterity. And we’ve brought new meaning to the Russian Swing Act, armed with an acrobatic attitude and a whole lotta rhythm as they swing themselves into the upper echelons of our big top.
“We are a circus with a rhythm and beat all our own,” said UniverSoul Circus Founder and CEO Cedric Walker. “We will always produce a show filled with soul and hip hop music, and we will always feature only the most dynamic performers from around the world. It doesn’t matter if you’re an urbanite or a suburbanite, old school or new school, generation X or Y, pre-school, high school or grad school – I strongly believe everyone will find something to enjoy at our show.”
And the rest of our amazing cast of UniverSoul Circus performers include, a daredevil motorcycle globe act, trickster dogs, high wire, tigers, Caribbean and stilt dancers, and elephants.
