The Rebellion Circus Program

Rebel Arts was created to provide a place of belonging for underserved communities including Black, Indigenous, and Latinx individuals, to enhance their physical and mental health. Through circus arts & tumbling, we empower our communities to be bold & authentic with who they are. One of our primary values that push our work is accessibility. Rebel believes in removing barriers from enrichment and promoting inclusivity. Our sliding scale model for recreational classes remove financial barriers that have prevented the communities we serve from engaging in circus arts. We provide transportation for youth who may have trouble commuting to our location. Accessibility expands beyond ensuring that communities can participate as students, we also want to ensure they can have a space to develop leadership within our programming. It is why we have provided teacher training to promising students who show a passion for the art. It is why we have hired community members with existing relationships and trained them to be youth leaders. When it comes to inclusivity, our programs provide a sense of acceptance as we cater our instruction to each individual need. We accept students of all learning styles and disabilities. Rebel Arts is more than just a site for creativity, our movement classes help build confidence, resilience, leadership, and self-awareness tohelp our Rebels succeed in the future.
