My son loved Social Circus! He learned a number of new skills, was exposed to more performing arts, received great guidance from the instructors, and was encouraged to be himself.

Social circus broke through my child’s anxiety, trauma, and self-doubt. For the first time, I saw him smile, plan performances, and truly engage. It was life-changing and maybe life-saving.
