Circus tradition refers to the longstanding customs, performances, and practices that define the circus arts. It includes a diverse array of acts such as acrobatics, clowning, animal shows, and tightrope walking, often performed under a big top tent. These traditions emphasize spectacle, entertainment, and skill, passing down techniques and routines through generations. Historically, circus traditions also encompass specific event sequences, costume styles, and a sense of wonder and community for audiences. While evolving with modern values, they maintain a sense of heritage that celebrates human talent, creativity, and the art of storytelling through performance.
