Youth Performance Troupe
Toronto Circus Centre’s Youth Performance Troupe is an intensive class offered to students with professional circus aspirations. For our 2026/27 Season all interested participants must fill out a brief application form and attend an audition to ensure the program is a good fit, before being invited to register. Please read the program description and prerequisites below carefully before applying.
The Youth Performance Troupe class focus is on building skills in performance and creation for circus and will include exercises, games and techniques from contemporary circus, dance and theatre to help develop these skills. In addition, time will be devoted to maintaining foundational circus technique including conditioning and flexibility training, however we will not be teaching ‘tricks’ in this class. Students must be enrolled in at least one additional class per week to continue to develop technique and repertoire in their specialty discipline(s). Commitment is full season (Sept-June). We will have three in-studio showings during the season.
Pre-Requisites:
- Age 10+
- Have been training in circus arts for minimum of 1 year and have solid foundational technique in their primary discipline
- Students must choose a primary (aerial) and secondary (ground) discipline
