Fun Facts!

Teenager Elia Taylor is an exquisite ballerina, contortionist and she can cross the tightwire on ballet toe-shoes.

She learned to walk on stilts before she could run.

Barbara Taylor was a professional clown with Ringling Bros. & Barnum and Bailey and rode the Circus train for three years.

Barbara is the great, great granddaughter of Jenny Lind. Lind was known as the "Swedish Nightingale" - the equivalent of a top modern-day Pop Diva who toured American in the early 1850s, promoted by P.T. Barnum. 

When she traveled to America from Sweden, she caused a sensation similar to Beatlemania.

The costumes are handmade works of art and all designed and sewn by Barbara.

Barbara Taylor said, "We circus people touch others deep down in a way no one else can. It's the ability to free people from all their worries and pain for a moment, from reality and welcome them into a world we see, a world where everything is possible."
