Discover Arkansas Circus Arts

Arkansas Circus Arts, LLC  was founded in 2013 by entrepreneur, circus artist, and Little Rock native, Camille Rule. 

The first studio was located in downtown Little Rock on Main Street under the name ReCreation Studios. 2016 brought the need for expansion and a new business partner,  Rebeka Poland. Rebeka is a fellow circus artist with a wealth of experience having founded Southern Lights Flow Retreat. So ReCreation Studios transformed into Arkansas Circus Arts and from downtown Little Rock to Maumelle Blvd, continues to share the passion for circus arts through exceptional circus instruction and performance.  

We get this question a lot. What do you mean circus arts? It is a performance art that combines the strength and power of gymnastics with the expressiveness and elegance of dance. It is recreational. It is fitness. It is fun. Most importantly, It is for all ages.

Our mission is to empower others and build community using Circus Arts as a unique tool to strengthen physical and mental health, as well as nurture creative and artistic expressions. Arkansas Circus Arts strives to provide a safe environment for learning with experienced and certified instructors and to contribute to the cultural enrichment of performance art by offering professional level circus-style entertainment throughout the state of Arkansas and throughout the region. ACA is proud to be a member of the American Circus Educators (ACE) and American Youth Circus Organization (AYCO).
