TeachCircus.com is a project of professional circus performer Jason Catanzariti - the goal, to teach "Circus Arts" to kids. And not just because they're fun (though that's good enough reason for me).

Circus Arts are a valuable part of many Physical Education and Recreation programs. Because these skills are so novel, challenging, and fun, students of all ages are highly motivated to practice and achieve. Circus Arts are equally good as individual, partner, and group activities. Many students who do not enjoy traditional sports and games often excel at Circus Arts.

Circus skills require concentration, patience, timing, tracking skills, gross motor coordination, and fine motor coordination.

Equipment can be made, or purchased at reasonable costs. Most Circus Arts equipment is fairly durable, and easily stored.
