Summer Circus Comes To An End


This summer, Sinobia attended the 2nd session of summer camp at the Actors Gymnasium.  The summer circus production this session was their very own adaptation of The Tempest.

Sinobia spends 10 months of her year in the pool swimming, this is where she is most comfortable and graceful.  Swimming is her love.   She has grown up watching Gabby hang from stuff, climb stuff and live the circus life.  After rigging our swig-set years ago with silks, a trapeze and a cloud swing, Sinobia started learning a few aerial tricks from Gabby and teaching herself some new ones on her own.  Last summer was her first try at Circus Camp, she returned this year for another session.

Like her sister, Sinobia will pretty much hang from anything and try to do a trick...here she is on the famous "diamond" during The Tempest:


What took my breath away was her love for dance and how quickly she can catch on to a dance routine and execute it.  I think she looks so cute in this great dance routine (which she practiced in our kitchen for a few weeks):


Summer camp is over now, Sinobia didn't mess around...she is now back in the pool, playing Water Polo for the next 3 weeks!

The girls will enjoy the rest of their vacation sleeping late, watching the rest of the Olympics and possibly a few trips to the beach.
