“We wanted to create a welcoming and anxiety-free entry point for interested kids and adults to discover the fun and athleticism of practicing circus skills,”  says Executive Director, Shana Kennedy.

 

Seriously — there’s a circus class for every age, every body type, every ability level. Circus skills develop balance & concentration, plus activate all kinds of muscles you never knew you had. AND THEY’RE FUN! It’s a giddy thrill to defy gravity, and to perform your skills for others as you acquire them.

Circus for adults strengthens strength, focus & flexibility — same deal, for kids, but it’s also a fantastic social, physical pursuit for kids who tend not to enjoy traditional sports. Circus activities are non-competitive and cooperative. And for what it’s worth, the “recitals” are waaaaay more entertaining than your average school-age dance routine:

 

We can’t attest to how fun these classes are (yet) but the young faces rehearsing their “graduation” routines from Circus Camp looked positively blissed-out so we’re kinda dying to try it, now. This Sunday’s a great opportunity, where instructors will be on-hand to answer all our questions and let us give all the different classes a whirl.

More good stuff on PhillyCircus’ very active Facebook, too! And check out all the great YELP reviews from a real variety of students (please note, the adult programs have undergone some policy changes & new leadership to help make classes even more flexible for busy schedules).
