Saint Paul Insider: Anwar Hassouni, Circus Juventas Artist
Circus Juventas is more than just the largest youth performing arts circus school in North America. It lends home-grown magic to the stage scene.
Tickets sell out fast for its Cirque du Soleil–style shows each spring and summer. And a passion for performing is practiced here all year long.
Just ask Anwar Hassouni. He literally grew up in the circus learning acrobatics from his father, Mostapha, who performed with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus before coming to teach at Circus Juventas. Today, Anwar continues the family tradition as a Juventas coach and internationally recognized circus artist.
“This is a very welcoming city. Saint Paul has influenced so much of who I am.”
