Join the Circus

Join DanceCircus! A circus of motion and emotion!

Our name, DanceCircus, comes from the ancient Roman word circus, which means circle. Our programs reflect the more contemporary meanings of circle – an area of action or influence, by a group of people sharing interests revolving around a common heart-center.

The DanceCircus circle of influence includes you – audience members, flash dancers, youth choreographers, or eco-concerned performers. You are invited to be part of our circle of influence – nurturing arts education, highlighting stories of people in community, and, engaging all ages in local issues that are “life changing.”

Last year, 6000 people like you—all ages and across neighborhoods—drew “inspiration” from DanceCircus programs:
∼ you found “real life connections” in dances exploring topical issues
∼ you made it possible for youth, seniors and differently-abled people in eco-dance workshops to “see, hear…and discuss” their nature roots and star-filled dreams,
∼ you moved the world sharing the “essence” of living, laughing and loving on planet earth, and
∼ you jumped into SPLASH DANC-ing and the “push…and…pull” of local water concerns.

DanceCircus programs circle back to the common center, – to the artists, dancers and artist-educators, who create, perform, teach and connect to community programs serving all ages, in all neighborhoods, and
– to you, who create support for DanceCircus programs through purchasing performance tickets, joining freshwater flash dances and generously contributing to programs.
