The Circus is most commonly danced to “Circus” by Britney Spears. Any upbeat track in a similar tempo works once you know the steps.
The sequence across 2 walls. The same sequence repeats, rotating 180° to face the opposite wall each time until you're back to where you started.
Yes, the Circus is rated intermediate. If you're new to line dancing, get comfortable with basic grapevines and triple steps first, then drill it one 8-count at a time.
No. Like every line dance, the Circus is danced solo in rows. Everyone does the same steps facing the same way, so you can join in without a partner.
Work through the step sheet one 8-count at a time at a slow tempo. Once each section feels automatic, chain two together, then run the whole dance to music.
A line dance is a choreographed sequence danced solo in rows. Everyone does the same steps facing the same way, no partner needed. The Circus repeats the same sequence, turning to face a new wall each time through. Once the counts click, you can join in the moment the song comes on.
