Meet Jefferson Freire: Master Juggler and New Adult Class Instructor
We are excited to introduce Jefferson Freire as one of the talented instructors leading our adult juggling classes at AcroSports! With his remarkable experience and passion for circus arts, Jefferson brings an unparalleled level of expertise and enthusiasm to our community.
Jefferson began his juggling journey in São Paulo, Brazil, where he trained under some of the country’s top street artists, including Anderson Perreira da Silva. What started as a fun pastime quickly became a lifelong passion and career. From juggling on street corners to performing with major circuses like Circo Universo Casuo, Jefferson’s path is as inspiring as it is impressive. He has traveled through 24 Brazilian states and performed on international tours across South America. In addition to his extensive performance career, he began teaching at the Tapias Voadores circus school in 2008, developing his reputation not just as a world-class juggler but as an exceptional teacher.
Beyond juggling, Jefferson is also a trained actor and musician, having graduated from the Braapa Theater School and the Conservatory of Music Fundação das Artes in São Caetano do Sul. Since arriving in San Francisco in 2017, he has continued to refine his skills as both a performer and a teacher, studying English at City College and violin at the SF Community Music Center. Jefferson currently performs with Circus Bella and teaches at the Circus Center in San Francisco, making him a fixture in the Bay Area’s vibrant circus arts scene.
