Imagine Circus Unveils “Big Top Circus” Stage Show
Imagine Circus performers spent two weekends at Harrah’s Casino in Cherokee, NC debuting our newest stage show, “BIG TOP CIRCUS.” This classic circus-style show includes stilt walking, aerials, acrobatics, and juggling acts.
This four person, 47-minute show ran four times each night for two consecutive weekends, adding up to sixteen shows! Performers charismatically captivated audience members as they moved with grace and ease, spinning from hoops, swinging from fabric, and manipulating juggling props.
BIG TOP CIRCUS begins with two beautiful stilt walkers, setting the scene and getting the audience excited. Moving across the stage in synchronicity, this larger-than-life duo dance with grace and ease. A third stilt walker joins the fun, showing off his stilt breakdance moves and impressive one-man balancing tricks.
Next up is a breathtaking aerial silks act! Climbing as high as thirty-five feet in the air, our aerial dancer captivates everyone in the audience with a jaw-dropping display of strength, grace, and bravery! All eyes are on her as she climbs, twirls, flips upside down, quickly drops, and finally lands (safely) back to the ground.
Our one-of-a-kind acrobat duo make multiple appearances throughout the show, including two unique “acro” acts that are equally impressive. The first is an “L-Basing Acro” act where one performer lies on their back with legs extended in an L-shape, balancing and moving the other performer on their hands and feet. The second is a “Standing Acro” act where both performers work together, moving through standing poses that show off their combined strength, balance, and flexibility. Both acts leave the audience baffled and wanting more!
Combing aerial dance and partner acrobatics, this act showcases two dancers performing acrobatic poses on a single aerial hoop (also known as a lyra). Captivating audiences as they spin, balance, bend, and smile in perfect synchronicity, our aerial hoop duo is always a crowd favorite!
Our jack-of-all-trades juggler performs multiple acts throughout the show, including ball juggling, club juggling, contact juggling, and diabolo. Each act is paired with complimentary dancers, filling the stage and creating a sense of overwhelming wonder reminiscent of Cirque du Soleil.
In addition to the BIG TOP CIRCUS show, Imagine Circus offered roving performers, including a stilt walker to greet guests as they arrived and a roving knife juggler to wow patrons up close and personal. Pairing roving performers with a stage show warms up the crowd and gives them a preview of the fun to come! Roving performers are also a great photo opp for social media selfies!

Through a collaboration with Todd Spiering from Circus Gear, we debuted two custom designed aerial apparatuses: aerial globes and an aerial platform. An ingenious design by Spiering, the aerial globes are interlocking aerial hoops that converge to create a sphere. Stacked vertically, these two spheres are capable of rotating independently in opposite directions, creating a mesmerizing spin as aerial dancers gracefully move through the air. The aerial platform is similar to a traditional aerial rig but includes an added platform at the top to creates an aerial stage, perfect for acrobatics, juggling, fire performance and dancing. While performers entertain on the top “stage” as many as four aerial performers can be suspended below making this ideal for group aerial acts. This impressive piece of equipment adds to Imagine Circus’s “wow” factor, taking cirque performances to new heights— literally!
In addition to innovative apparatuses, performers shared their creativity with the crowd at North Hills. Among the unique acts was a “Stackro” routine by Adam and Liz Bliss, a partner acrobatic dance executed on stilts, a “Hoobe” routine developed by Mindy, a dance between performer and a hollow cube formed by fastening hula hoops together in a specific way, an aerial hammock trio routine performed by Kaci, Liz Bliss, and Katie, and a group silt dance choreographed with parasols, performed by Lacy Blaze, Irene, Adrenaline, Ben, and Mindy.
We look forward to teaming up with North Hills again for their Midtown Music Fest on April 29th! We hope to see you there.
