about Circus Juventas:

Circus Juventas, a non-profit performing arts circus school, offers a wide array of classes in each of the five genres of contemporary circus arts: balance, aerial, juggling, circus theatre, and acrobatics.

The non-competitive classes stress teamwork and confidence-building, and are held in CJ's unique 21,000-square-foot fabric-sheathed Big Top arena.

Toddler classes meet during the day; ages six and up attend weekdays after 4pm and Saturdays. Themed workshops and weeklong summer camps are also offered. Mentorship and family involvement are an integral part of the program, and parents are expected to volunteer while their children are enrolled.

Each August, dozens of CJ's advanced students present an original Cirque du Soleil-style spectacle including elite acts such as the bungee trapeze and flying trapeze. Tickets run about $15 per person.

tips:

Most beginning students should plan on starting with a sampler "Circus Experience" class.

getting there:

Between the Highland Park Golf Course and West 7th Street, on the south side of the street. The parking lot is ample for class times, but often fills for performances, with the overflow directed onto the adjacent field and down toward 7th Street.
