About Circus School
Riga Circus School was founded in 2017 and is dedicated to promoting the accessibility of circus education both in Latvia and across the Baltic states. Our main activities include offering regular classes for children, adults, and families at the Riga Circus School premises (25 Zeļļu Street) and in outreach settings, as well as organising training opportunities for professionals in the field.
The vision for the restoration of the historic Riga Circus building and the development of its territory is closely connected with the future vision of the circus school — creating new and technically adapted spaces for training both circus enthusiasts and professionals. Currently, Riga Circus School offers leisure-time classes aimed at fostering interest in circus arts and building an understanding of the diversity of contemporary circus. Through circus disciplines, we promote values such as:
- Belonging and collaboration — united in diversity. Riga Circus School is open to everyone. Circus is an art form without language or age barriers. Here, everyone can discover their own speciality and gain confidence as a valued member of society.
- Creativity — the participant as a creator rather than a performer. Circus is not only a sport. It is an art form and, within non-formal education, also a means of self-expression.
- Healthy lifestyle. Circus is a unique art form because it actively uses the human body as a means of expression. Circus promotes the image of a healthy, active, and happy young person, encouraging a healthy lifestyle.

Rīgas cirks is implementing a project in which circus arts will serve as a unifying platform for children from families who have arrived in Latvia from other countries, allowing their personal stories and experiences to become visible and heard within the wider community.
The project “Social Circus for the Integration of Children of Third-Country Nationals”, implemented from 1 April 2026 to 30 September 2027, aims to promote the inclusion of children who are third-country nationals and their families into Latvian society through the practice of social circus.
