About
The General Circus Program is our core multidisciplinary training program for students ages 7–15. It introduces and develops skills across a range of circus disciplines while building strength, flexibility, coordination, confidence and stage awareness.
Training is structured so students can progress at a level that matches their goals and commitment. As skills develop, students may begin combining them into sequences and performance acts, with opportunities to participate in shows and community performances when they are ready.
Students can choose from three training pathways:
Recreational — 2-3 hours per week
For students who want to enjoy circus, build strong foundations and progress at a recreational pace.
Development — 3.5–4+ hours per week
For students who want more consistent progress, additional technical training and greater focus on skill development.
Performance — 6+ hours per week
For committed students working toward advanced skills, act creation and performance preparation.
Performance opportunities are based on attendance, technical readiness, coach recommendation and the needs of each production.
