Circus Juventas (formerly Circus of the Star) is a youth performing arts circus school located in Saint Paul, Minnesota and serving youth throughout the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The organization was founded in 1994 by Dan and Betty Butler, and offers circus arts training to children ages 3-21.
Emulating the style of Cirque du Soleil, Circus Juventas' themed shows have enjoyed popularity in the Twin Cities. Launched at St. Paul's Highland Fest in 1995, Circus Juventas has since performed in venues including the Science Museum of Minnesota, Target Center, the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, the Mall of America, Roy Wilkins Auditorium, and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.

Famous quotes containing the word circus:
“The way to go to the circus, however, is with someone who has seen perhaps one theatrical performance before in his life and that in the High School hall.... The scales of sophistication are struck from your eyes and you see in the circus a gathering of men and women who are able to do things as a matter of course which you couldn’t do if your life depended on it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
