The Wallenda's

The most famous family in circus history, the Wallendas, introduces
an all-new group of performers in a death-defying pyramid with the
youngest girl in history to present the fabled chair balance. Rick
Wallenda, eldest grandson of founders, Karl and Helen, proudly
presents his group of daredevils. Wallenda celebrates more than
forty years on the highwire with his latest student.

Ten-year-old Bri headlines the act by performing the chair pyramid. Bri practices at the Wallenda training facility in Sarasota, Florida. The celebrated circus family traditionally trains others in the art of highwire, and now offers this youngster in a spectacular recreation of the feat made famous by the original Wallenda troupe.
The troup offers many traditional turns in this stellar routine, culminating with the chair pyramid. Bri refuses to limit her training, insisting that Mr. Wallenda teach her all the tricks. Bri has also successfully topped the seven-person pyramid in practice, and the original Wallenda “double-double” pyramid standing on Mr. Wallenda’s shoulders while he stands on the pyramid.

Wallenda has performed on three continents during his forty-year career, and on more than one occasion participated in a recreation of the gigantic pyramid. As the patriarch, he leads this group to each destination as his grandfather once led the original group. Thrilled spectators anxiously seek autographs from these young performers after every show. They appeared at the Scottdale Fall Festival September 16-18,2011.
