Zacada Circus School opened in May 2007 in Stoney Creek.   Owners Christine Cadeau and Kosta Zakharenko are former Cirque du Soleil performers.  Together they travelled the world for 10 years with the show “Quidam”.  

Inspired by their experiences with the highest level of quality entertainment, they left the tour to share their knowledge and to develop their own visions of combining elements of fitness and artistic expression.

The school develops recreational and  professional level performers who wish to pursue a career in the circus arts.
