What is Dance Cirque?

Dance Cirque is an exciting new circus program. There are two streams – Little Monkeys for ages 3-5 and Dance Cirque for 6+. Children can work at their own pace to progress through the levels in a non-competitive environment where FUN is the focus above all else.

Who can do it?

Anyone can! That’s the beauty of Dance Cirque.  Kids of all fitness levels and abilities will enjoy this fun and engaging circus program.  Some will excel with coordination activities like juggling while others will be naturally drawn to balance activities or strength activities like silks.  Students have an opportunity to develop their skills in each of these areas, building their confidence in a supportive, non-competitive environment with trained instructors.

Dance Cirque is great for FOCUS!
