A trip to London's Victoria Dock for an afternoon of Circus skills and Dance.
First though, there was the E (for electic) Grand Prix at the Excel Center for the rip-off price of £49. No consessions? No thanks.
On site, acrobats practice...
Children's performers put on a great show
And we learn how to change into a swimming costume whilst standing on your partners head!
