Our Mission
Our Story
Creating a Performing Arts Charity for Our Community
As a performing arts charity deeply ingrained in our community, Roundabout Circus stands out as the Central Coast's premier Community Circus. Our foundational purpose as both a social enterprise and a registered charity revolves around leveraging the transformative power of circus arts to uplift and empower individuals within our local surroundings.
​
Our diverse array of weekly classes caters to both kids and adults, covering a range of ground-based skills like juggling, hula hoop, acrobalance, alongside aerial disciplines like Fitness, Silks (tissu), Static Trapeze, and Lyra. Led by our team of trainers, many of whom are seasoned professional circus performers with a history of captivating audiences in Australia and across the globe, we ensure an enriching learning experience.
At the heart of Roundabout Circus is our commitment to highlighting the positive impact of social circus arts within our community. By channeling our profits back into our work, we're able to extend subsidized classes and tailor-made programs for the more vulnerable segments of our community, including individuals with disabilities and at-risk youth, thereby nurturing an inclusive and supportive environment for all.

Why Circus?
Circus is a beautiful blend of sports and art that weaves physical activity with creative expression, all in a non-competitive, supportive atmosphere.
Imagine this: as you learn circus skills, you’re not just mastering tricks; you’re boosting your confidence, nurturing your self-esteem, expanding your attention span, unleashing your creativity, and refining your coordination. It’s like discovering a whole new world of possibilities, one flip and twirl at a time.
