About Circus Juventas
Circus Juventas, the largest youth circus in North America, provides year-round circus training to youth ages 2-21 and presents two major public productions each year in the spring and late summer. CJ’s Spring Celebration Performances feature beginning- and intermediate-level students, while the summer production features advanced performers in a Cirque-du-Soleil-style production. CJ also offers a wide range of summer camp options, all of which create a safe space where students can have new adventures in a non-competitive, nurturing environment. Another of CJ’s exciting events is their annual gala, an evening that pairs students’ amazing performances with a three-course meal and more. Dedicated to making classes accessible to all, Circus Juventas boasts a robust scholarship program in addition to their Work-Study Leadership Program, where CJ students age 14+ leverage their circus training to become peer leaders while earning tuition credit. Now celebrating 25 years of excellence in circus arts and youth development, April 2019-April 2020 is featuring a wide range of new and exciting events and performances.
