Education Enrichment through Circus Arts

Cirque Amongus offers hands-on programs designed to build self-esteem, develop motor skills, and promote teamwork.

Led by our project managers who are professional entertainers and skilled instructors, teachers and volunteers introduce students to the fundamentals of circus arts – juggling, movement and balancing – in a safe, fun-filled, and educational environment. Teachers and volunteers have an unforgettable experience as they are transformed into circus arts instructors, choreographers, stage hands, wardrobe chiefs & make-up artists.

Among the achievements experienced during a circus project that can be useful throughout life:

• doing something you never thought possible
• mastering a skill through trial, error, and plenty of practice
• creating something and seeing it come to fruition
• working together in a cooperative way to bring about something big and special that you could never do by yourself
• having poise and concentration under pressure
