Ever been to the circus and wondered how they learn to do their breathtaking aerial acts?  Ever wanted to to challenge yourself to be brave and try something you've never tried before?  Then Circus Week is for you!

This project week will challenge your courage and creativity as you learn how to fly through the air on flying trapeze and showcase beautiful tricks on indoor aerial apparatus like silks, lyra and dance trapeze.    

Led by some of the best professionals in the US, we will engage in a combination of flying trapeze and indoor aerial classes before you choose which one you'd like to focus on to perform in the student showcase at the end of the week!  Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to have any prior experience in circus or gymnastics, and you don't need to be 'strong' to participate. Being physically active on a regular basis beforehand is a recommended prerequisite as this week will undoubtedly be both a physical and mental challenge - but one filled with achievement beyond your expectations and tons of fun!

Take the plunge, rise to the challenge, try something you've never done before!  Circus Week promises to bring out the fun, bravery, strength and resilience in us all.

Special Considerations

Students must be 12 or older. 

Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to have any prior experience in circus or gymnastics, nor do you have to be 'strong' to participate. Being physically active on a regular basis beforehand is a recommended prerequisite as this week will undoubtedly be both a physical and mental challenge due to the daily morning and afternoon classes.  

It is recommended that you wear leggings and sports top during the classes.
