Summer Break

Advanced Performance Camp: AGE 8 – 17

SUMMER 2023 | July 10 – 14

For the circus lovers who want to take their skills to the stage. After choosing between creating a solo, duo or trio act, your child will spend the week taking their circus skills even further as well as working with coaches to choose music, develop the theme, and create choreography. After five days of intense work (and just maybe some fun sprinkled in for good measure), they’ll present an end-of-camp performance for family and friends.

This camp is by invitation or application only. Including video in the application is highly recommended unless we know your child through regular NECCA classes. We will get back to you promptly following a review.

Check back later for registration.

Students will work in groups by age and ability for the best learning experience. We work with the energy of our youngest students by including art activities and quiet time suited to their learning needs.
