Top Show | In the company of some polished performers

Bellahøj, Copenhagen; starts March 18-April 13; 160-350kr; arena.dk

Most kids are self-styled acrobats, but starting this Friday you can show them what it takes to earn your bread with those balancing, juggling and elephant taming skills. 

The largest Danish circus ‘Arena’ is opening its tent in Bellahøj again. Enjoy The Rampin Brothers and neon-clad Flying Mendoca fly their way straight into impressionable hearts, and good luck talking your kid out of the idea of going to circus school. 

Performances run Wednesday through Sunday, and tickets start at 160kr.
