Our 2014 Fall Youth intensive was a HUGE success and we are extending our 2015 January intensive to 3 months. We encourage students to take more classes during the week to compliment their studies. We will also be offering more classes during the week that focus on the youth intensive skills as well as open gym opportunities.

This 3 month intensive will focus on building the fundamental skills essential for the practice of all circus disciplines. Students will work on creating a foundation of strength, flexibility, air awareness and coordination. Using these skills students will master the basic vocabulary of various ground and aerial disciplines including but not limited to trapeze, acrobatics, Chinese pole, lyra, silk, partner aerial, tightwire, rolla bolla, rolling globe, juggling, diablo, hammock and Russian bar.

Technique and skill will be taught in a progression of complexity and intensity scaled to meet individual students’ needs. In addition to technical ability, this course will also encourage creativity and innovation outside the realm of traditional circus as students develop their own creative movement, choreography, and character work.

As students develop and progress our teachers will work with them individually to identify their strengths and passions, and use these insights to help them choose a discipline to specialize in. The course will end with a Level One presentation which will include a perform by each student on their chosen apparatus (or discipline) as well as group number. We will also have our Spring Show which the students will have the opportunity to perform in if they are ready.

This course is designed for highly dedicated students, looking to go above and beyond recreational classes to develop as a well rounded circus artist. As such, class sizes will be kept small to ensure each student receives the individual attention and support they require.
