Circus Juventas, Circus training center in Highland Park, Saint Paul, US.
Circus Juventas is a youth circus school in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where children and teenagers learn disciplines such as aerial arts, juggling, wire walking, and ground acrobatics. The facility has dedicated training areas with aerial rigging, padded floors, and a stage space used for end-of-season productions.
Circus Juventas was founded in 1994 as a nonprofit youth program in Saint Paul and grew steadily into a full circus school over the following years. It is now one of the largest programs of its kind in North America, drawing students from across the region.
Circus Juventas trains children and teenagers who perform in full productions at the end of each season, with costumes, lighting, and a live audience. These shows are open to the public and give students a real stage experience in front of family and the wider community.
Classes and performances run throughout the year, so checking the current schedule in advance is a good idea whether you want to watch a show or enroll a child. Comfortable clothing that allows free movement is recommended for anyone taking part in a session.
The end-of-season productions at Circus Juventas are staged in a real theater and run for several weeks, drawing audiences well beyond the students' own families. The shows are written around an original story each year, making each production a new theatrical work rather than a recital.
