About
Since 2000, the Philadelphia School of Circus Arts has been the regional center for contemporary circus education. Its seasoned faculty leads classes in aerials (like silks and lyra), juggling, unicycling, tightwire, tumbling, and more. The school also hosts private events, summer camps, and guest performances. The space is part of Circus Campus, a collaborative hub shared with Circadium and the Give & Take Jugglers.
The founder, Shana, trained at Circomedia in England and performed with Cirque du Soleil's Totem. She's committed to expanding circus artistry in the U.S. Classes run most days, with evening hours on weekdays and morning sessions on weekends. It's a welcoming spot for all skill levels, and you'll find a mix of serious trainees and curious beginners here.
