About Us
Cynthia founded San Juan Circus in the spring of 2021. She felt that true strength training and correct flexibility technique for aerialists was desperately needed in Durango’s circus community. Using her experience as a dancer and competitive gymnast for 16 years, including her many certifications, Cynthia has different insight on what it takes to achieve the level of strength and flexibility needed for advanced skills.
