🎪 Help CCCS Find a Forever Home! 🎪

TLDR: Email [email protected] by FRIDAY, Aug 14 and tell them who you are and why you think CCCS should be part of the RFK Stadium campus redevelopment.

For years, Capitol City Circus School has dreamed of a permanent space — one that lets us grow, welcome more students, and stop the cycle of costly moves. Now we have a real shot at making that happen.

CCCS is preparing a proposal to be part of the RFK Stadium campus redevelopment — envisioning a dedicated circus facility with year-round indoor programming AND an outdoor flying trapeze rig! 🤸‍♀️✨

We need YOUR voice. Through Friday, August 14, DC’s Office of Planning is collecting public comment on the RFK redevelopment plan.

💌 It only takes a few minutes:
Email [email protected] and tell them who you are, your connection to CCCS and what it means to you, and why you think CCCS belongs at RFK.

Not sure what to say? Think about:
🌟 Our year-round community from DC, MD & VA
🌟 After-school programs, camps & mentorship for youth
🌟 The connection circus builds through classes & performances
🌟 The confidence and resilience our students gain

Even a few sentences will make a difference. Show DC there’s a whole community behind our proposal! See the link in our bio for more details.

Our Summer Showcase was sizzling with the swinging, spinning, spectacular skills of our students and staff! (Say that three times fast.)

They truly brought the heat with impressive tricks, fun themes, and seriously committed costumes. Let’s give a special shout out to our Advanced Campers who performed both aerial and flying trapeze acts to demonstrate what they’ve learned this summer!

There’s still plenty of summer left for you to join the circus. See you at the tent!
