Miami Circus Arts Center is for students of all ages and abilities to experience the magic of Circus Arts. Expert instructors, international artists and Cirque du Soleil performers introduce Circus Arts to a new generation.

Miami Circus Arts Center offers group and private classes in Silks, Trapeze, Hoop/Lyra, Straps, Acrobatics, and Contortion/Hand-balancing for youth, beginners and professional adults. 

Your 2024 contributions will directly support our:

Youth Scholarship Fund to share the joy and benefits of circus arts with everyone with tuition and outreach programs. Last year your generous donations paid for 48 scholarships, allowing a wide range of underserved children to attend classes and summer camps!

Acquisition and replacement of safety material, as we grow and welcome more children in our programs, we need to acquire new crash mats to make sure everyone is practicing in the safest environment. Crash mats are very expensive and with your donation our goal is to acquire 3 new crash mats and replace 2 aging ones.

Increase our partnership with global circus arts vocational school to support and mentor the emergence and development of new youth circus talents who are seeking a career in Performing Arts. The platform offers residencies, mentoring, exchange program and visibility to the selected emergent youth circus artists, as well as organizes artistic and educational events to showcase and disseminate their work.

Launch one to one classes for children within the Autism Spectrum so we can provide a flexible, individualized approach to group and one-on instruction that enable youth to develop physical and social interaction skills. These progressions are adapted to the abilities and needs of the students participating in each class and/or session. Our goal is to help our students find the success and self-efficacy they need to eventually move on to recreational circus classes.
