Youth Performance Troupe is an invite-only weekly class for young circus artists who are ready to take their skills to the next level. This performance-focused program gives students the opportunity to develop their artistry, stage presence, and confidence while creating one or two original circus acts in the disciplines that interest them most.

Over the course of seven classes, students will work collaboratively with instructors and fellow performers to develop, refine, and rehearse their acts.
