Cirque Éloize is a contemporary circus company founded in Montreal in 1993 by Daniel Cyr, Claudette Morin, Jeannot Painchaud and Julie Hamelin. Since 2004, it has its headquarters and creation studio in Old Montreal inside the former Dalhousie Station, a historical building where the National Circus School (French: École nationale de cirque) was based from 1989 to 2003. Cirque Éloize creates shows destined for indoor tours and sometimes for the big top. At other times, it creates custom shows for Dalhousie Station, or for client chosen venues.
