STEP RIGHT UP AND JOIN JENNY & CHRIS FOR CIRCUS DREAMS

Circus brings us all together by learning something new and engaging, through the spirit of play and collaboration. There is something about the circus that draws us back every time and it’s not a big secret. It’s simple! The circus is fun. Staying active is important for health and learning circus technique is also a great way to keep our minds sharp. In this 12 week program you’ll learn theatrical clowning, juggling, hooping, feats of balance, and poi spinning from circus artists Jenny Hill and Chris Tamburro.

This inspiring circus experience culminates in a group celebration that demonstrates the joy, dedication, and collaborative effort that is inherent in circus arts. This will be open to the attendance of family, friends, and community members.

We look forward to meeting you under the Big Top at White Rose!

Sessions are the following Mondays and Fridays, from 10:30 - 11:30. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes for movement
