Circus is Creative Youth Development: Partners Acrobatics

Partner Acrobatics fosters positive relationships among students and with adult teaching artists.

 Students build on body awareness and communication skills to consensually, physically rely upon one another to achieve tricks nobody could do alone. We literally hold each other up with care, safety, and consent. Teamwork makes the dream work! Over the next six weeks, we’re spotlighting the circus disciplines central to our fall semester curriculum and how they embody Positive and Creative Youth Development principles.
