Mission Statement
At Circus Center, we aim to inspire passion for the circus arts through training, performance, and community engagement. Our vision is to be a cornerstone for the preservation and advancement of the circus arts in North America. Through our programming, we strive to be: ** A world-class circus school providing excellent, well-rounded training to new, young, emerging, and professional circus artists. ** A primary home for the Bay Area’s diverse community of circus artists, offering a training space, expert faculty, and artistic development opportunities that no one else can match. ** A circus school that commits abundant resources to build connections and cultivate passion for the circus arts in historically excluded and under-resourced communities.
Description
Circus Center offers classes for every level of ability in flying trapeze, acrobatics, aerial arts, contortion, juggling and many other disciplines.
We are a vibrant hub of the circus community on the West Coast. Throughout the year, Circus Center produces professional-quality shows starring our students, instructors, and community members. Our pre-professional youth troupe has sent students on to careers in circuses around the world, with a scholarship program that helps young artists to pursue their professional dreams regardless of ability to pay.
We have also established a social circus outreach program for under-resourced youth and youth with learning differences in locations around the Bay Area.
