Moody Street Circus Kids!

Have your child's birthday party at MSC! We will host a 2 hour birthday party for up to 10 kids for $350.  We provide  the magic circus space and equipment and training by real circus professionals. The children safely learn tricks and moves on aerial and ground circus apparatus from circus/dance professionals Sacha and Melinda Pavlata.  Email us for references or to inquire about booking your party.  Belly Dance Parties are also an option for girls' birthday parties.

Sacha Pavlata is interviewed in this lovely book by Bill Smoot. "In the spirit of Studs Terkel's Working, Bill Smoot interviews master teachers in fields ranging from K-12 and higher education to the arts, trades and professions, sports, and politics.  The result suggests a dinner party where the most fascinating teachers in America discuss their views of teaching and what makes their work meaningful to them." 

The book is an inspiring read for anyone interested in what lights up both students and teachers.
