Vision & MissionThe New England Center for Circus Arts (NECCA) offers people of all ages and abilities a unique opportunity to experience the magical & captivating world of circus arts. Here, in a welcoming, safe environment, recreational and professional students alike can explore the charms and challenges of circus arts and gain a solid foundation of techniques and skills across a broad spectrum of traditional circus forms as well as "new circus," aerial dance and physical theater.
Why Circus?
The appeal of the circus arts ranges from the athletic and adventurous to the curious and creative. Classes in fixed trapeze, aerial fabric, flying trapeze, acrobatics, dance, Pilates, yoga, clowning, stilting, and juggling build strength & flexibility, poise and self-confidence and provide a wonderful outlet for imagination, creative expression-and fun. Some students go on to pursue their dreams of a career in the circus and performing arts; others take confidence in nimble healthy bodies and pursue other life dreams.
NECCA's Vision
The opportunities are endless for NECCA to become a vital resource for the local community and beyond. We will continue to expand our ability to offer the community outstanding professional circus performances, attract visiting guest artists and instructors from around the world, provide a high level of training for students who aspire to be professionals, and facilitate greater access and programming to area schools and youth organizations.
A Collaborative Arts Vision
The New England Center for Circus Arts is working closely with local organizations in Brattleboro whose broad vision is a premiere arts campus offering daily interactive opportunities, classes and demonstrations for students, staff and visitors. With this in mind, NECCA envisions one day having its own state-of-the-art circus trapezium where all of its programming can fit under one roof including height for swinging and flying trapeze, multiple training rooms for expanded programming and superior performance facilities.
Mission
The mission of the New England Center for Circus Arts is to create a school, facility and community where circus arts are available to the general public and to inspire students of all skill levels, ages, abilities and aspirations.

"I love the fact that the point is to get better than yourself - not to be better than other students, or to get some kind of meaningless score."
