Big Apple Circus
"Founded twenty years ago by two jugglers, The Big Apple Circus is a non-profit one-ring big-top tent circus. Their educational site is my pick of the day because it is a treasure trove of delightful circus tidbits. Not to be missed sections include the downloadable Study Guide in Adobe Acrobat format (""a resource for students and teachers""), a history of the circus (titled Classical Circus in the left-hand menu,) and two 360-degree Virtual Tours (one of the big-top tent, the other of the stables.) And last, but not least, take a look at the animated tent raising."

Barnum Museum
"P.T. Barnum’s name is synonymous with show business promotion. Phineas Taylor Barnum and his partner James Bailey started the Barnum and Bailey Circus in 1887, calling it ""The Greatest Show on Earth,"" This museum site (from Bridgeport, CT where Barnum lived with his second wife) provides a brief introduction to Barnum’s life and accomplishments. The best clicks can be found under Cast of Characters, where you’ll be introduced to Tom Thumb, Jumbo the elephant, and the Swedish opera singer Jenny Lind."

ballet.co
Reviewed June 13, 1999 by a reader Hornchurch, Essex, England who is not affiliated with the site. Beautifully minimalist and sophisticated ballet site, plenty of information on the ballet scene, with a focus on the UK. Images are used sparingly and although small to keep the site fast are nonetheless of high quality. The site has a strong branding which runs throughout and shows strong commitment.

American Ballet Theatre Photo Gallery
"These two stunning photo exhibitions from the American Ballet Theatre Web site are just for the joy of looking at them. "Moments in Time" highlights the history of the troupe in eighteen photos, and Roy Round’s album of current photos gives one a glimpse into the life of a dancer."
