Hi Lola! Here’s a cute photo that we have from the Youth Company years back. 🌷 We are almost about to wrap up this current year and auditions will open for our next 2026 - 2027 Youth Company.

We have just updated the website with the new seasons details so go over and check it out! 🌸

Ages 10 - 17 Welcome!
Program Length: 10 Months

Wednesdays: 5 - 7:30 PM
Sundays: 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM

Bonus Class: choose 1 additional class from our studio schedule.

Program Philosophy:

This program is structured to provide advanced level aerial & dance training for dedicated students who are eager to take their skills to the next level with a focus on becoming professional circus artists.
Company members receive professional caliber circus training and strong mentorship. In addition to advancing their chosen apparatus, students continue developing their aerial, circus, and performance skills both independently and as part of an ensemble. Students will have a heavy focus on act creation, movement quality, professionalism, audition readiness, character & mindset. And, of course, all the fun, confidence, and lasting friendships that come with this incredible journey!
