Fairbanks, AK – It's a Chinese tradition that dates back to 700 B.C., when people would spend their winters practicing acrobatic and juggling skills. The New Shanghai Circus continues the tradition in America. They're based out of Branson, Missouri, but still call Shanghai home. Over the next week the New Shanghai Circus will be traveling through Alaska, starting with shows in Valdez. KUAC's Dan Bross spoke with Chris Dunlop, Production Manager for the New Shanghai Circus.
