Work-Study Program
A work-study program is available for advanced-level students who display a good work ethic, respect for fellow students and CJ staff, and who maintain a high level of commitment to the Circus Juventas mission. All students who are interested in participating must have their schedules, registration, and work-study packets completed and turned in by the first day of the session. Work-study application packets are available at the Circus Juventas front desk.
Skill Levels
Skill levels are provided for most acts to establish minimum required abilities. However, please note that placement in all intermediate and advanced classes is now done through an application process. Please see the registration page for details of the application process.

with no previous experience.
- Level I-II: Classes will build on beginning fundamentals

- Level II: Classes will build on the fundamentals of
the acts.
- Level II-III: Classes will prepare students for advanced
level training.
- Level III: Classes are for advanced level students
only.

Performances
May Shows
The May performances allow our beginning and intermediate students
to experience the thrill and the challenge of a full-scale performance
that integrates music, costuming and presentation. This
experience is an integral and very special component of our programming.
We strongly believe that all students benefit from it, and we
are proud to offer extraordinarily high production values.
Accordingly, May show preparations start many months in advance.
Winter session enrollment will determine which acts a student will
perform in for the May shows. Unless otherwise noted in
the winter class schedule, all beginning and intermediate classes
will perform in the May shows, and all students enrolled in those
classes will be expected to participate. Costume measurements
for the show will be taken in early December. Parents must
purchase costumes at a cost of $60 per act. For some acts
accessories (e.g. fishnet stockings, shoes) may also be required.
Summer Shows
The Summer show is reserved for the most advanced performers
in the most advanced acts. Students appearing in Highland
Fest shows are seasoned, well-rounded performers who train year-round.
Advanced students will begin preparing for the Highland Fest performances
during the winter months. Staff will review student capabilities
and commitments and make performer selections by April 12.
