🌟 Staff Spotlight: Meet Benito Aguilar!
🎪 Our incredible tent master and facilities manager is a seventh-generation circus artist who grew up in Circus Aguilar - and has tried nearly every act imaginable, from high wire to hair hang! A juggling specialist and cheerful presence on our team, Benito has been part of the CAC family for over 15 years, beginning with the Big Top crew for Circus Sarasota. Our students and campers know him as much for his Spanish lessons as his expert rigging and spotting skills. 💛
