Cirque du Soleil gave some local students an opportunity to peek behind the curtain.
The cast of the new show, "Toruk," hosted a master class Wednesday at Las Vegas Academy to teach students some of the signature movements.
The workshop also featured light acrobatics, allowing students to explore their potential in a safe environment.
"Toruk," which was inspired by the movie "Avatar," debuts in Las Vegas on Jan. 18 at T-Mobile Arena.
