πŸŽͺ✨ The spotlight was all theirs!

On Friday, May 1, students from the Circus Arts Conservatory's C.A.S.T. Program at Sarasota High School took to the stage and absolutely delivered. πŸ‘

In an incredible hour-long showcase, these talented student artists performed acrobatic dance, German wheel, wire, manipulation, aerial silks, lyra, and web. From students in their first year to those who have trained for four years, every single performer let their skills shine in a show that was nothing short of spectacular.

πŸ’™ Congratulations to all of our Sarasota High School Magnet students and an extra special shoutout to the Class of 2026! We are so proud of everything you have accomplished and so excited to see what comes next!
