Youth Take the Stage
YOUTH TROUPES
NECCA’s Youth Performance Troupes nurture the budding athlete, artist, and person by supporting long-term growth in circus and life skills while encouraging students to work collaboratively with their peers and providing performance opportunities.
BUILDING FOUNDATIONS
YOUTH TROUPE
Youth Troupe is intended to provide a broad education in the circus arts. It is the next step for developing circus artists who aspire to more than casual, recreational learning. Emphasis is placed on developing the fundamentals of flexibility, strength, coordination, and creativity, in addition to a broad range of circus-specific skills. The group-training format allows students to learn collaboratively and develop the teamwork needed for ensemble performances.
