The Roustabout Youth Program offers structured teen aerial and circus classes for students ages 12–17 who are ready to train with purpose, challenge themselves, and grow in a supportive, encouraging environment.

Our philosophy is simple: young circus artists are capable of more than they're often given credit for. We believe that when expectations are clear, coaching is thoughtful, and students feel genuinely supported, they'll rise to meet the challenge.

Our curriculum is designed to develop confident, well-rounded circus artists through technical training, strength and conditioning, artistry, and performance experience. Classes are intentionally structured to challenge students, build resilience, celebrate effort, and provide individualized feedback .
