Guiding Us Forward

Accessibility Through Community Engagement

We believe circus should be for everyone. NECCA offers free and low-cost performances and programs that bring the magic of circus to our community. By participating in local events, we enrich the cultural landscape, introduce new audiences to the art of circus, and create inclusive opportunities for people who may never have experienced it before.

Physical and Mental Wellness Through Recreational Programs

Circus is more than just entertainment—it’s a path to physical and mental well-being. Our recreational classes provide a safe, welcoming space for all ages, from young children to adults over 60. Through movement, creativity, and connection, our programs promote health, confidence, and a sense of belonging.

Next Generation of American Circus Through Professional Programs

As a globally recognized training center, NECCA is shaping the next generation of professional circus artists. Our industry-leading programs provide world-class instruction while keeping tuition fees low—ensuring greater accessibility and staying true to our mission of opening doors for aspiring performers.

“I love all the offerings from NECCA!

Taking classes with them has made me feel so strong, powerful, and confident.

It makes exercising a treat instead of a chore and my kids love the classes and instructors. The service by the team is always incredible: responsive, fair, and friendly. Don’t sleep on their classes or shows!”

“When I started training at NECCA simply to challenge my physical abilities, I was wholly unaware of the transformations that were awaiting me.

Even as my delusions of my fitness level gave way to the fumblings of a beginner trainee, a sense of absolute freedom became undeniable. In the trapezium, I get to for a moment shed the burdens of life and engage in an artistic practice that makes me feel timeless and beautiful. NECCA’s community welcomes me to express the truest version of myself free of social judgment and adorned only with the powerful grace of the circus arts.”
