You don’t have to run away to join the circus!

For 39 years, children, teens and adults have learned circus skills with the OPENAIR Circus of Greater Somerville. Everyone is welcome to learn new skills and join the circus community!

Classes include Acro-Yoga (for adult/child pairs), Baton Twirling*, Devil Sticks*, Diabolo*, Hula Hoops*, Juggling*, Poi*, Stilting*, Tiny Tots Trio (ages 3-6), Unicycling and Yo-yo. Classes with asterisks are offered at beginning and intermediate levels.

Classes will be held 4:30 – 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays at Prospect Hill and Wednesdays at Powderhouse Park. Classes will start June 25 and end July 25, with rehearsals the week of July 29 and performances the first weekend of August.

Registration is free. A donation of $30 per child, $50 per family is suggested but not required and includes as many classes as the student wants.

Equipment loans are also free so students can practice at home. Some items are in limited supply so registering early will help the circus obtain additional supplies if necessary.
