Ryn is a highly experienced youth circus trainer and entertainer. She has a passion for sharing her love of circus with young people; bringing joy, laughter, and facilitating those astounding ‘I can do it!” moments.

It also helps build confidence, self-esteem, perseverance, as well as social and emotional wellbeing… Not to mention it’s lots of fun!
