The St. Louis Arches, Circus Harmony’s youth acrobatic team, recently took their talents to Washington, D.C. to perform at the Smithsonian’s 50th Anniversary Folklife Festival -- the largest circus event in U.S. history. There, the group showed off its skills (and made us wish we were more flexible)​. W​e have photos​ of the highlights​ right here. You can also see videos of the team’s performances here and here.

Circus Harmony is St. Louis’ only complete circus school and social circus organization, ​using circus arts to promote social change. For more information about Circus Harmony, visit circusharmony.org.
