American Youth Circus Organization's 2009 Festival

[Panni Speirs]

Irene and All,
Sorry, I gave you the wrong web address for the AYCO FESTIVAL. Here is the correction: www.americanyouthcircus.org. If you go to this web site, the home page will direct you to more info. of this National student gathering. The students of Circus Arts meet bi-annually in a Festival/workshops, long weekend format somewhere in the US. Most of these participants are school-age children, learning Circus Arts with some kind of an after school program. These after school programs may be part of a school district's after school hours activity, or part of a Recreation Department, or may be sponsored by the local "Y", or a Church, etc. If it is a private company teaching this Art form, they are probably non-for-profit.
In the alternative years just the teachers/coaches get together to learn from each other and from other professionals. I am still trying to post this event from "my Events", but so far without any luck.
If anybody has any questions relating to this event, please do not hesitate to ask me.
