Kids & Youth classes!
Circus has been proven more effective than almost any other form of physical activity in advancing a child's balance, coordination, strength, flexibility, dexterity and--most importantly--confidence! Plus it's the most fun!
Classes run continuously and, pending room, are always open for registration! See class descriptions below and visit our class schedule page to see our current schedule.
If you'd like to register for a class go to the schedule page and create a VAMP account for your child with their name and birthdate. Go to Register for Session to register or add them to the waitlist.
