Cliff RolesIn the vein of trying something new, the Circus Arts Conservatory held its inaugural concert fundraiser May 12, coined Wonderball.
Two-time Grammy Award-nominated electronic music DJ Steve Aoki headlined the event, which welcomed more than 1,200 concertgoers into the Circus Arts Conservatory to enjoy live beats, drinks and plenty of dancing.
But no CAC event would be complete without performances by students from the CAC's Sailor Circus Academy, who entertained the crowd with aerial acts prior to Aoki's performance. In addition, local DJs Tony Campos and Harrison Koffman, as well as New York City-based DJ Peter DiCaro warmed up the crowd.
"We were absolutely thrilled with the success of Wonderball and are excited to welcome the event back next year," said CAC Executive Vice President/COO Jennifer Mitchell in a statement.
The event benefited the CAC's youth education program.
