n.a circus
having five separate rings where
different acts can take
place simultaneously. A
ring is a circular
area in which performances are
given. A circus often takes
place under one or more large tents and consists of acrobats,
clowns,
animal shows, etc. Each of these
acts takes
place in a
ring established in the
central portion of the tent with the audience seated around the
perimeter. A circus commonly has three rings, which is considered spectacular, but may have as many as seven, allowing it to display a wide variety of
action and entertainment all at one
time.
