My family and I went to The Believe Cirque du Soleil show on December 5, 2017, which was a series of extravagant acts. It started strong with two gymnasts who put together an impeccable routine. There were two ballet dancers and a clown who came on between acts. The next memorable act was three extremely strong men. They were showing off their strengths, and it was impressive.

After them, a scary good contortionist was bending and twisting in all sorts of different ways. A man and a woman came out on roller skates and were spinning in circles doing jaw-dropping tricks. There were a few more acts then the most extravagant and dangerous act came up.

They had two balls on a pole, like a hamster ball, going around and around while they did tricks on it. It had everyone on the edge of their seats, and all you wanted to do is scream. They were jump roping on top of the ball, and it was nerve wracking. From tumbling to a contortionist to life-endangering skills, they had it all.

I thought the show was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I thought the best act of the night was the two men on the hamster balls. They had an element of surprise, danger and excitement. I also really enjoyed the clown who came on between acts. I thought he was hilarious and kept the show light-hearted.

Every act that came out, I was in awe. I was really impressed by the show and all the crazy talented people. At the end of the show they all came together and bowed. They seem like they are really close, almost like a family. After the Dec. 5 show at Independence Center, my family and I were all talking about the amazing show we just saw. My entire family really enjoyed the show. I would be happy to go to another.
