At Incredible Kids Circus, our Portland-based programs bring the joy of circus arts directly into schools and community spaces throughout the Portland area — including Tigard, Lake Oswego, Oregon City, and Gresham — as well as across Southern Washington State, including Yakima and Hood River. Whether your school wants a high-energy day of juggling, balancing, and performance or a multi-day residency, we tailor each program to spark creativity, confidence, and teamwork.
Circus Arts Programs for Schools
Our most popular programs include:
- Circus 101 – A lively performance by our teaching artist(s), followed by interactive workshops where students try age-appropriate skills like juggling and balancing.
- Circus Week Residency – A week-long program where students progress from basic to more challenging skills: juggling, stilt walking, low-impact partner acrobatics, and goal-setting exercises.
- Circus Extravaganza – Two teaching artists guide a core group of students over one or two weeks to create a show. Students practice advanced disciplines like balance props and clowning, performing for peers, families, or the community.
In all programs, we emphasize personal growth, self-belief, and collaboration through playful learning.
