Coach and Choreographer,
St. Louis Arches

Jessica Hentoff is the Artistic/Executive Director of Circus Harmony. She founded and has been privileged to coach and choreograph the St. Louis Arches since their inception in 1989. In 2009, Jessica received the double honor of being named “St. Louis Arts Innovator of the Year” by the Arts & Education Council and receiving the “Grand Center Visionary Award” for Outstanding Arts Educator. She was also invited by the World Circus Federation to give a presentation on Social Circus (using circus arts to motivate social change) at the Monte Carlo Circus Festival. Jessica’s remarkable vision and use of circus arts to build character and community has brought about ground-breaking and bridge-building programs like “Circus Salaam Shalom”, “Far East Meets Midwest,” and “Peace through Pyramids.” These trademarks of Circus Harmony are the embodiment of the organization’s mission to help children “defy gravity, soar with confidence and leap over social barriers, all at the same time.”
