This segment is sponsored by the Universal
Circus. The show is back in town
and members of the Universal
Circus are taken in the sights
of the DMV. I recently caught up
with them in Old Town Alexandri.
Chad, can you tell us about the different
routes that the water taxi take?
Yeah, absolutely.
We have different routes going
from Alexandria to National Har,
Alexandria to the Wharf and the
Wharf up to Georgetown that fols
can either take for transportatn
purposes or even sightseeing and
destination purposes as well. Y.
So Speaking of sightseeing,
what kind of experiences
can people expect
on a water taxi? Yeah, I mean,
we go for our Georgetown route.
They get close and intimate,
up close sightseeing of
the national monuments,
obviously under the 14th St.
Bridge Complex, past the Washington Monument,
past the Lincoln Memorial Kennedy Center and
all all the way up to historic Georgetown.
Obviously coming down to historic Old
Town Alexandria and over to Natl
Harbor are all just great sites.
And then up to the new attractis
at the Wharf as well are all grt
things that our guests love to enjoy.
So, Cheyenne, what brings you
out here to the waterfront
today? Well, we decided to have
a different change in scenery.
The sun is out shining bright.
The weather is nice and warm,
which I love because you know.
I love the tropics,
so you want to give you guys a
different feel and a different e
of the circus and it is so exci.
Tell me what we have right here.
Yes, so this morning we have the Havana
night skaters and they are from Havana, Cuba.
But I love the most about this o
is that they recently became A-.
So they haven't been working
with each other for too long.
But with their skills and their
insane movement and talent,
you would swear that they have
been with each other for.
Years and that I love the most about them.
Their chemistry is amazing.
They certainly look like they've
been together for years.
Yes, Tell me about these perfor.
So this group of performers are called
the Namuna Acrobats and they are from.
Mongolia,
one of the special things about
them is that they have been with
us for the past five years.
So they are definitely a family favorite
and a staple at the Universal Circuit.
Now with the Namuna Acrobat,
they are extremely talented and I say
that because they do so many different
tricks and sons under the big t.
They initially had a performance
that we call.
Mongolian troop and they would
have done a Teta board act, rig.
So we see them doing jump rope
today because they wanted to gie
you guys just a little taste of
the different types of styles
and tricks that they can do.
So they combine some of their
tricks and the debates up.
So now they have one act and one performance
that incorporates different elements.
So they also have the Teta board
in that performance and they alo
have the Mongolian bar which was
also another great performance
that they put on under the big.
Up at one point in time and they decided
to do a different fusion and coe
both of them for you guys to se.
But today we just giving you gus
a little sneak peek of some of e
tricks that they do on the Teta board
and some of the stunts that they
perform while they are on the Mongolian bar.
