If you ever dreamt of running off and joining the circus when you were a kid, now is your chance to make that dream a reality. Visit The Circus Conservatory of America in Portland, Maine, to buff up your acrobatics and earn your own pair of clown shoes.
This non-profit organization is dedicated to preserving and furthering the art of circus performance. The school offers a liberal arts training as well as classes in circus performance — making for a well-rounded performer. Other educational areas include circus management, business matters and circus advocacy. Serious students must complete an application and pass an audition before becoming part of the school. Clearly, this is not a one-act show.
The Circus Conservatory of America offers a well-rounded education for the circus student but also has more recreational classes for the amateur acrobat. Now is the time to live out your dream of walking on a tightrope, soaring on a trapeze or just clowning around. The conservatory promises a high level of excellence and strong commitment to safety. Check out their website for more information on drop-in classes or recreational events.
