The New England Center for Circus Arts (NECCA) is a not-for-profit circus school based in nearby Brattleboro, VT. It was founded in 2007 to offer people of all ages and abilities a unique opportunity to experience the magical & captivating world of circus arts.
In NECCA’s welcoming, safe environment, recreational and professional students alike can explore the charms and challenges of circus arts and gain a solid foundation of techniques and skills across a broad spectrum of traditional circus forms as well as “new circus,” aerial dance and physical theater.
NECCA instructors come from a wide variety of backgrounds including social circus, dance, creative movement, and a wide variety of professional circuses. All students share the spaces at the school – rather than segregating students from various programs, they are encouraged to learn in a collaborative, supportive area where all have equal access.
