On April 25, 2010, nine ladies checked into eXtreme Hotel to enjoy a week in paradise and to learn new and improve upon various circus skills.  Leading the retreat were two extremely talented women who were here to guide the ladies through various activities and lessons using various circus paraphernalia.  The retreat was in part hosted by Kaiceitos Circus who operate a circus school on site at eXtreme Hotel.

demonstrating skills from the professionals at the retreat, Kaiceitos Circus and some routines from their students.  It was a fantastic display in full costume and filled with awe, demonstrating strength, skill and beauty by the participants.  Some of the acts included static trapeze, spanish web, lyra (hoop), silk, juggling and acrobatics.  The final act of the evening incorporated dancing, hoop and fire.  It was a great way to end the show.

Kaiceitos Circus intends to host more demonstrations throughout the year and will continue it’s circus lessons at eXteme Hotel daily.  You too can learn how to use circus paraphernalia like a pro.  This fall the circus retreat will be returning to eXtreme Hotel for more seminars and another amazing exhibition.
