Registration Process
A new registration process has been established in order to accommodate
our school's rapid growth. There are now two categories of classes
with different registration procedures - Open Classes and Application
Classes -
Open Classes: Registration in these classes is open, based on the student's ability to meet any prerequisites that may apply. Students continuing in an act they were enrolled in for the previous session have priority through the "returning student" registration deadline. After this deadline, applications for open enrollment classes are taken on a first come, first served basis.
Application Classes: Registration in intermediate and upper level classes is handled through an application process. Due to limited space in these classes, staff will review all applicants based on the following criteria:
- Skill: Staff will consider present and potential skill level (using class prerequisites as a minimum baseline) and overall circus skill level.
- Commitment: Staff will review class and rehearsal attendance.
- Attitude: Staff will review the applicant's respect for fellow students, coaches, and equipment/personal gear as well as his or her willingness to be helpful when asked.
New students are strongly encouraged to start with a fall Circus Experience class (or Teen Connection class for students age 13-21) , which offers an overview and sampling of acts in all five genres of circus arts: acrobatics, juggling, circus theatre, aerial, and balance. Students then generally select one or more specialized acts for winter session and go on to perform with those acts in the May shows. New students also have the option of beginning with a level I specialized act.
Returning students are strongly encouraged to continue in intermediate and advanced levels of specialized acts they have begun studying at level I. They will continue to acquire new skills, perfect old ones, and develop solid performance experience. For most acts it takes at least three full years of study to progress to an advanced level.
Registration
Fees | Discounts | Refund Policy
Full payment must accompany the registration form to complete enrollment. Payment will be refunded if the class is full or canceled, or if the student cannot meet the prerequisites. There is a $25 fee for all late registrations.
Application Classes: Students should feel free to list, in order of preference, any number of application classes they would like to be considered for. They should submit payment for the total number they are actually prepared to take.

Refund Policy/Cancellations/Withdrawals
We reserve the right to cancel a class due to insufficient enrollment, in which case a full refund will be given.
Students who voluntarily withdraw from a class, for any reason, after the registration deadline, will not receive a refund.
Advancement
In the past some students have moved on to more advanced classes before they had the skills to safely enjoy their advancement. In order to ensure that each student has successfully completed the requirements and gained the skills needed to advance to a higher level, staff is in the process of developing guidelines for class progression. In the meantime, coaching staff will be consulted before students are allowed to progress to a more advanced level or act. We hope that this will keep students safe and maintain the integrity of our curriculum.
