Current Announcements
Upcoming Visiting Artists
LAURA CARELESS
Laura Careless is a UK-born, New York-based performing artist specializing in
storytelling through dance and movement. This is her 9th year returning to CJ!
Laura is a graduate of The Royal Ballet School; the Ecole-Atelier of Maurice
Bejart; and The Juilliard School Dance Division. This eclectic training background
and Laura's unique performance career have established her as one of the leading
dancer actresses of her generation.
Laura Careless will be leading summer show workshops in many acts including
Teeterboard, Russian Swing, Table Comedy, and Pas de Deux. Stay tuned to email
announcements for specific dates, times, and registration information!
Welcome Back Theater Coach Ansa Akyea!
Older CJ students might recognize a familiar face around the arena come summer:
Coach Ansa Akyea has been on hiatus from teaching theater classes for a few years
but has returned to circus once more.
Outside circus, Ansa works as an actor and director at local and regional theaters
in the Twin Cities, including the Guthrie, Mixed Blood Theater, and Ten Thousand
Things. He is the recipient of several acting awards, including Citypages Best
Actor, Minnesota Playwright Center’s McKnight Award for Acting, and an Ivey
award for the Guthrie’s production of Clybourne Park.
Ansa will be coaching sections of Theater 1000, 0500, 0009, 0005, and 0000.
Be sure to give him a warm welcome back!
New Class Offerings—CALLING ALL ALUMS AND ATHLETES!
Alumni Aerial Adventure: We are excited to announce a new course that will
be available to CJ alumni starting this summer: Alumni Aerial Adventures! This
class is open to alums who wish to continue training on aerial acts, and
registration will be conducted on a drop-in basis. Students must have previously
trained at CJ in a 300-level aerial class or above to participate. For more infor-
mation, see page 12 .
Circus Training for Athletes: This option is a great cross-training class that
improves strength and flexibility—and learning some cool circus skills while
you’re at it! CTFA is for teen athletes with training in sports like gymnastics,
diving, dance, or team sports. This accelerated class explores both aerial and
acrobatic circus acts. For more information, see page 26.

Summer Show 2019: TWISTED
Something is amiss in the Black Forest…
The fairy tale world is thrown for a loop when Russian sorceress Baba Yaga and her sisters brew up a devilish plan to
tangle the traditional tales and sow the seeds of epic chaos, forcing beloved fairy tale characters to band together and
strive to set their stories straight. This summer at Circus Juventas, comedy, magic, and romance abound as we return to the
world of international fairy tales for the first time since our 2011 blockbuster hit Grimm. Will Jack conquer his beanstalk?
Will the Little Mermaid finally make it to shore? Will Pinocchio achieve real-boy status? Will Sleeping Beauty EVER wake
up? And what about that wicked little fellow with the strangest name? Find out this July and August in this magical mix-up
for the millennia that’s not to be missed.

Progressing Through the Program
It can sometimes be a bit difficult to navigate a program as complex as ours. We hope a few real-life scenarios will help!

and artistic department co-manager.

Finding the Right Class for You!
We have color-coded our class pages to make selection easier! Each act is marked to denote the level of prerequisites needed
for the FIRST level of that act. See below:
GREEN acts require no additional prerequisites other than the age requirement. New to our program? Start here! These are
the classes everyone is eligible for, no prior experience necessary!
YELLOW acts require previous experience to BEGIN training in this act. Look carefully at the prerequisites listed to
determine your eligibility. Requesting classes you are not yet eligible for will only slow down the registration process.
PURPLE acts require an ADVANCED level of training even for the lowest level. These classes are often marked as “invitation
only.” If you are interested in any of these acts but have not received a recommendation from your coach, indicate your interest in
the “notes” section of your online registration.

Special note on Toddlers/Kinders Summer Registration: If your student participated in a Toddlers class this past
academic year, and they will meet the minimum age requirement by Sept 1, 2019, then they CAN move into the Circus Kinders
program for summer session. The same thing applies for Kinders moving into the youth program—as long as they will be entering
1st grade this fall, you can choose from our youth class offerings. You also have the option of staying in the same class as this past
year (if that makes your student more comfortable); however, they will need to make the transition to the next level come fall.
I’m Interested! FAQs about Toddlers and Kinders Programs:
What equipment do they work with?
All kinds, including hoops, trampoline, juggling, trapeze, tumble track, vault mini, mini hammock, and low wire! The skills they learn coincide with
their development, so Kinders get to do a bit more than the Toddlers do.
Am I allowed to be in class with my child?
Sometimes the first week can be tough for our youngest students. During this transition, parents can be permitted
to work with their child on the floor. Once they get in the groove, parents are encouraged to participate less.
How do I know if my child is ready for this program?
We really leave it up to our parents to use their best judgment; after all, you know your child best. Please note: our
general policy is not to offer class refunds, but you can come check out our facilities before committing to class.
Does my child have to perform?
Not necessarily. Summer session is a great time to try out classes WITHOUT the pressure of performing. Should
your child decide to stick with the program, you will have to commit to performing come winter session.
How much does it cost?
Toddlers and Kinders classes are $165 for summer session. Additional costs are associated with performing.
How do I get signed up?
If you’re brand new to CJ, you need to fill out the Pre-registration Form online. This is how we collect information
on your student (as well as get you onto our mailing list). Once registration opens up, log into the system and get
signed up. It’s that simple!
What can I do to make sure my child gets placed into class?
Two things: first, get your registration in sooner than later. Second, list as many class day/time options as can fit in
your schedule. If we can’t get you into your first choice, we will work extra hard to get you your second or third!

I’ve Taken an Experience Class: What Comes Next?
What did you like the most? What did your student enjoy most in the variety of acts offered throughout his/her
experience class? Look to a more specific act in the genre of that act so that the training can become more concentrated on what he/
she enjoyed.
Look at the options in the session guide! Find any of the beginning level classes (highlighted in GREEN)
throughout the guide. We’ve listed class descriptions and prerequisites to help determine what each act has to offer. There is also
our Class Finder that offers selections for narrowing down options based on a variety of filters.
Talk to the admin staff ! We’re always here to help and can also be a great conduit for gathering feedback from the
coaches. Need help remembering what that circular, aerial contraption was called? We can help you figure it out in addition to
answering any questions you may have about the program. Also, artistic department co-manager, Rachel, is a great resource to
provide guidance with moving through the various levels of our program, too. Email rachel@circusjuventas.org to set up a meeting
with her for consultation.
