SUMMARY:The Circus Is Coming!
DESCRIPTION:The HippityHop Circus is coming to town! Save the date May 31st from 10:30 – 12:30 to see what our students have in store for you! Our musical riding celebration this year is called Serendipity. Bring friends and family\, and have a good time.\n\n\nSaturday\, May 31st – 10:30 – 12:30 Blue Rider Stables’ (BRS) annual Circus is a theatrical performance on horseback\, where staff and riders choreograph drills to music. Circus performers represent a broad spectrum of individuals in the Berkshire community\, from young children to adults with special needs. Everyone riding at BRS when rehearsals begin in April is invited to perform\, and ridership is open to all\, regardless of age\, ability or riding experience. The Circus is a wonderful opportunity for individuals with disabilities or anxiety disorders\, who may not otherwise be able to perform in a theatrical production\, to take center stage\, as the connection they have developed to their equine helps them to overcome many of the challenges that usually inhibit them. The Circus also highlights Blue Rider’s vaulting team. Vaulting is a unique equestrian activity combining dance and gymnastics on horseback.\n\nWe’ve been hard at work\, preparing\, practicing\, and choreographing for this year’s Circus\, and we’re really excited to show you what we’ve been working on. We hope to see you there!\n\n\nCircus Raffle – 50 chances to win per ticket! \nWe have 50 gift certificates from local businesses\, valued at $15 – $75. Buy tickets to win one of these items. Drawing will be at the Circus May 31st. You do not have to be present to win. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCircus Raffle Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\nMany thanks to SiscoTech LLC for your underwriting support! Also\, this program is funded in part by a grant from the Alford/Egremont and Sheffield Cultural Councils\,  local agencies which are supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency.
