Salida Circus has been an amazing multifaceted enriching experience for our daughter. Sierra took Amelie under her wing 9 years ago when Amelie joined the circus at age 7. She has been like a big sister and a mentor and has become part of our family. I have watched Amelie become a radiant confidant young woman and I owe some of that to Salida Circus and Sierra. The circus has been a lot of fun while also encouraging Amelie to try new things and push herself to always get better at what she is working on. The circus has provided Amelie with travel experiences such as when she got to go to Ireland last summer and perform with their local circus. She has learned a lot about community and team work and showing up even when she didn’t want to. Thank you Salida Circus!

My granddaughter's involvement in Salida Circus and now Emergent Performers has been one of the greatest influences and highlights in her life. The mentors and teacher are so inclusive and supportive. They know how to teach and model personal growth, responsibility, healthy habits, as well as, circus skills! The kids love to perform and you can see them building confidence and self-esteem. Salida Circus is caring, talented people who make a huge contribution to our kids and community. Sierra, feel free to correct any errors or mis-steps! Thanks,
