Elephants dance through DUMBO on the way to Barclays Center
DUMBO never had much experience with elephants (leaving aside the Walt Disney elephant character called “Dumbo”) until now.
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus kicked off this year’s season in Brooklyn with a preview of their show as a crowd of nearly 500 people were on hand at the intersection of Old Fulton and Water Streets on Wednesday morning.
Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz declared it Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus Day in Brooklyn. The event kicked off with the King Charles Unicycle Troupe, the world-famous Ringling Bros. clowns and the “dancing divas” which are eight female Asian elephants who danced and ate food to the amazement of the nearly 100 students from P.S. 287 that were on hand.
