This spring, I've re-joined Circus of the Kids, a traveling program that brings the joy of performing circus skills to children around the country. This tour includes residencies at a school and home for children ages 6-18 with special needs in Brewster, NY and at public middle schools in Spencer, OK and Brooklyn, MI.
Circus of the Kids has been brought its special mix of learning, exercise, character building and just plain fun to more than 500,000 youngsters across the U.S., teaching circus arts at schools, resorts, and summer camps since 1982. I've been working with them on and off since 2002, teaching juggling, clowning, trapeze and other aerial arts, trick roller skating, floor and mini-trampoline acrobatics, multiple-person bicycle tricks, rolling globe, and other circus acts.
Of course we'll be keeping up with our New York clients through phone and e-mail, so don't hesitate to contact us!

Spring tour was so much fun that I signed on for summer tour, and what do you know they asked me back for the fall! Now in October, we're just finishing an eight-month run that included five schools and eleven summer camps. I taught juggling, clowning, two different types of trapeze, trick roller skating, acrobatic bike, rolling globe, and other circus skills; performed with the kids in skating and trapeze; spotted kids on bikes and eating fire; ran the AV department; and promoted the show to local media. If you're interested in bringing Circus of the Kids to your community, I'd be happy to talk to you or put you in touch directly.
