The SPARKLE Circus is an immersive, 5-day learning adventure for grades K-8.
Sparkle* is the acronym for, “showing people authentic respect, kindness & love everyday.
Children increase their social and emotional intelligence while creating their own circus acts. Expert and introductory instruction includes: tumbling, juggling, partner acrobatics, dance, theater, balance, diabolo, flower sticks, spinning plates and building human pyramids. Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is integrated in the forefront of the experience and a teaching style allows students to reflect and process the reciprocity of kindness, trust, courage, challenge and accountability. Students own their creations and know that theirs is a unique expression of who they are. We are memory makers.
