Class Registration Coming Soon

Our youth circus programs offer young people the chance to build real skills like balance, coordination, and confidence through engaging, hands-on training in circus arts. Led by experienced teaching artists, classes provide a supportive environment where students are encouraged to challenge themselves, express their creativity, and grow both individually and as part of a team. Our summer camps are available at beginner and intermediate skill levels.

Meet MNTR’s New Instructor

My Nose Turns Red is excited to collaborate with the incredibly talented Elijah Kirk! Elijah is a proud MNTR alumni, starting his training with the organization at 11 years old. He has gone on to attend The National Circus School in Montreal, Canada, and received a degree in German Wheel. He will be teaching German Wheel along with many other circus skills this upcoming semester, such as: unicycle, balancing acts, diabolo (Chinese yo-yo), jump rope, and more.

Check out this short clip to see Elijah in action!
