VCS Students Perform at Massey Theatre!

This past year, the Vancouver Circus School (VCS) was proud to be a part of the Massey Theatre’s Winter Spectacular, performing a set called Silk Caterpillars, held between December 16^th and 19^th.

Looking back at the performance, VCS Aerial Silk Instructor and Silk Caterpillar choreographer,  Meregon Kiddo expressed her delight in watching her students (Brook Pinard, Paige Halex and Emily Reimer) perform.

Kiddo smiled and said, “As a coach, nothing makes me more proud than seeing my students perform. I’ve watched them develop and improve their skills every single week for the past 2 years, and as I watched them perform at Massey Theater, it all unfolded in a matter of minutes.

All of that training came down to what was a truly beautiful silk act. Seeing my students perform for just those few minutes is the very best part of my job.”

Aerial Silk classes are some of the most popular classes VCS offers.  To see a full VCS class schedule, click here.

Happy New Year!

Celebrating the End of an Amazing 5 Years & the Beginning of a New Decade!

When father and son Aaron and Travis Johnson opened the Vancouver Circus School at the Harry Jerome Recreational Centre in 2005, they never could have dreamed it would turn out to be as successful as it did.  People of all ages from the Lower Mainland enrolled in the school’s classes and VCS soon became the little school that could.

Now, moving into a new decade and its 6^th year in North Vancouver, Travis and Aaron thank everyone for their support.  “There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing our students grow their skills in the circus arts” says Travis.  “We have built this school on the foundations of education, creativity and active lifestyles and we couldn’t be more proud to be apart of the amazing North Vancouver Community”.

This year, the Vancouver Circus School will reopen its New Westminster location at a new and improved New West Quay.

Travis and Aaron wish everyone a very happy new year and thank you for your continued support!
