OUR PROGRAM VALUES

  • Bodies should not be pushed past their limits. We encourage students to discover their limits, face their fears, and surprise themselves with their own capabilities, but we do so on their terms, with the support of coaches' confidence, expertise and encouragement, not fear or intimidation, and never physical force. 

  • Trust and cooperation are at the heart of circus. What we do requires students to take responsibility for the physical safety of the group as well as their own. We facilitate this with care and intention, and teach communication skills alongside physical skill-building. Our students will value each other's voices, and respect each other's bodies, their own bodies, and the space we train in together.

  • The mark of a successful relationship with circus is its sustainability. We are invested in providing students with the knowledge, strength, technique, and good practices to train safely and responsibly for as long as they wish.

  • Leveling and pre-requisites are never black and white. Circus Arts defy categorization and quantification - and so do our students! When we evaluate a student's readiness for a class, we do so based on the full picture of their training journey, and it is impossible for any one list of skills to encompass all the factors in a student’s success. Please ALWAYS get in touch with us if you are interested in a certain class, and never assume a missing pre-requisite is the end of the road. 

  • We aim to make our program accessible and comfortable for students of all races, religions, genders, and sexualities. We will always engage in conversations relevant to students’ ability to understand and respect each other, and encourage families to be in touch if there is anything we can do to make our space a better home for your circus dreams. Circus is for everyone. never miss registration day!
