Before there was a pole dance studio in every town, finding quality circus instruction meant going to either San Francisco or Montreal. The first year that the New England Center for Circus Arts began a professional intensive training program for adults, Trixie and Monkey were the first to sign up, having to fully relocate to god-forsaken frozen Vermont for 2 years. This is a journal of all the comings and goings during those years, the grueling physical training during the week in Brattleboro whilst gigging every weekend in NYC, with tours in between. It was a crazy time, all chronicled HERE.
