( CNN ) -- On the road for 300 days a year , a Cirque du Soleil touring troupe of 175 relies on the same precise planning for its travel arrangements as it does for its acrobatic moves and dare devil routines . `` Right now , we 're in London , in the U.K. , and we 're working on making sure we have documents ready for Spain , for Russia , for France , because we 're visiting those countries by the end of the year , '' said GeneviÃ¨ve Deslandes , the manager of the Canadian performing group 's traveling show Kooza . To plan for its visit to each city , one of the first orders of business is finding a place to stay . During their time in London earlier this year , the cast and crew stayed in the London Bridge area in 85 apartments . `` For London , it 's really nice that we have everyone in the same place , but in Madrid , we 're in 24 different places , '' said Jerome Vezina , the travel and lodging coordinator . He says they work on housing for about three cities at the same time . Everyone must pack for all seasons , taking everything they will need all year round . Each of these ultimate road warriors is allowed three suitcases -- two to send ahead and one to travel with . `` We do n't live in the present -- sometimes it 's sad to say like that -- we really live in the future , '' Deslandes said . More than just a circus , Kooza is a community that includes two physiotherapists and four chefs . Teachers provide schooling for the younger performers . For 15-year-old Mongolian contortionists , it 's straight from math class to warm-ups for the next show . But learning on the road has its benefits , according to Thierry DeGagne , one of the teachers . `` My student is reading about Rosetta Stone , and we 're going to visit it , '' she said .
Cirque du Soleil 's touring show is on the road for three shows a year . A large part of the planning is making sure everyone 's belongings are in order . Each performer is given three suitcases and must register for all seasons . Young performers receive schooling on the road .
