 * Keep. I refer you to the page on Circus Skills, and its history.  The Gurevich system, created in the 1970's was the first major attempt at classifying circus skills, and was the basis for the curricula of the Russian Circus School.  Comparing and contrasting this system with other pedagogies for teaching circus in invaluable to those learning and teaching circus arts.  Contrary to what Nardman1 stated, this methos of organizing skills is a look into the heart of the Soviet Circus. --SimplyCircus 21:53, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

For more information on the value of this system, and for the only article ever published comparing the major classification systems for circus techniques, read The Classification of Circus Techniques by Hovey Burgess. It was published in The Drama Review: TDR, Vol. 18, No. 1, Popular Entertainments (Mar., 1974), pp. 65-70. Its available via JSTOR. --SimplyCircus 04:00, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
