Circus Princess 2009

CircusPrincess is not your average circus. It’s a showcase where the world’s most talented female artists show off their most colorful and innovative skills while competing for the title of CircusPrincess 2009.

The first CircusPrincess competition was created by brothers Robert and Henry Bronett in 1995 as a tribute to all of the gifted women who had been kept in the shadows of the circus world. Their idea was to make it a one-time event, but the audience had other plans.

Thanks to overwhelming public demand, CircusPrincess became a highly anticipated annual competition until 2003. It has been seen on TV by over 70 million viewers worldwide. Princess Christina fru Magnusson has been the event’s official Chair of the Jury and lady-in-waiting. 2009’s lady-in-waiting is yet to be appointed. Throughout the years, winners have hailed from countries including Canada, France, Russia and China. For many, CircusPrincess was only the beginning of a successful international career.
