Life is a Circus

Emily Raluy, (Life is a Circus)  the fifth generation of one of the longest-standing family sagas the world of the circus has ever known, reveals the secrets of The Greatest Show on Earth. How do the artists live? How do they raise the big top? How do they prepare for a world tour? How do the artists’ children and the youngest artists learn and study? How has the Raluy Legacy Circus managed to endure for so many years? Life is a Circus shares the answers to these questions and many more. But above all, it is a book that transports the magic of the big top right into your home, where you will enter a world of glamor and excitement, and never stop dreaming that “the most difficult feat of all” is still indeed possible.

Emily Swider Raluy is from the fifth generation of artists that perform with the Raluy Legacy Circus, renown not only for their shows, but also for their efforts to recreate the historical atmosphere of the circus. She began her training at the age of three, and at age fourteen participated for the first time in the family show. She has spent her life traveling the world and practicing disciplines as astounding as tightrope walking, unicycle riding, acrobatic roller skating and pole dance.
