Teaching Resume

I learned all of the circus arts I know through teaching/learning arrangements with a number of youth circuses around the country. Even now teaching continues to be the ultimate learning experience for me. My experience teaching circus is broad and diverse; I've led classes, facilitated workshops, and developed circus arts curricula. Click see a short list of my teaching experience.
