The American Youth Circus Organization defines social circus as "the use of circus arts as a medium for social justice and individual wellness and uplifts the role of art and culture as powerful agents for change. Social Circus practitioners support participants as creative change makers through the collective development of self-esteem, solidarity, and trust".

The Gainesville Circus Center believes that circus arts have the power to build strength on physical, emotional and mental levels and to promote cross-cultural and inter-generational collaboration. From aerial silks to trapeze to group acrobatics, Gainesville Circus Center is dedicated to teaching circus arts to anyone willing and interested in learning for the purpose of bettering their physical, mental, social and spiritual self.

​

Gainesville Circus Center offers aerial and acrobatics classes, camps, workshops, and performances for kids and adults. Our school accepts both recreational and professionally minded practitioners of circus arts.
