Skill progressions are used throughout training. We start with the basics and move on when our students have a solid foundation.
We use mats, spotters, nets and safety lines to protect the kids in rehearsals and in performances. Our safety record is outstanding!

“I can't tell you how incredible everything was about your Crew and the children performing in your circus. My kids loved everyone in your Crew!!
I invited my boss to come to the circus on Friday morning and he was completely 'blown away'!!!
You've done an exceptional, outstanding, and amazing job with the children.”
– Ronnie Mark (parent)
“I am writing to you because Circus of the Kids made such an impact on my life & I am pleased to see that the show still goes on! I think of my lessons learned from Circus & the self confidence I gained. We are the sum of our experiences, but some experiences out-shine others. This was true for me with Circus of the Kids.”
– Sara Phillips, Circus Student 1989/90 (written: May 2010)“It affects kids for life.” – Terra Murphy, Media Specialist

“I've worked with circus for almost 20 years and it never fails to amaze me. The children learn and grow so much in such a short amount of time! We need to give children as much self-esteem and confidence as possible and Circus of the Kids does exactly that!”– Betty Habshey, Camp Director"This was a spectacular event. At first I was not keen on this. I was worried about the safety. Now I'm completely sold. If you ever need a reference, have them call me.”– Dr. Bruce Mindich, Camp Owner
Your staff has given each child the opportunity to shine brightly. Your desire to see them succeed is amazing. After seeing 5+ shows, I know many of us share in the success that is greater than the applause.– Kathy Gillett, Parent
Kinda hard to think that I didn’t want CIRCUS. Now I am your biggest fan!!!– Patty Childs, Principal
