Professional Circus Training
Preparatory Program
For students ages 17 – 24 working towards a career

Our Preparatory Program not only creates space for strategic development, but also emphasizes circus as a means of communication, empowerment, and a way to gain some color. We’ve built our Preparatory Program as a stepping stone to develop a solid base from which our students can advance in order to reach goals that include auditioning for continued higher education in schools such as ENC, ESAC, CNAC, ECQ, and CODARTS. Many of our prior students have gone on to higher education and professional work. Melo Nolander, for example, is currently on her third year achieving her Bachelor of Circus Arts at CODARTS Rotterdam. Clara Laurent & Rosie Rograms, 2018 graduates of our Preparatory Program, were accepted in to ENC’s 3 year Higher Education Program this year. Mark Keahi, secured a contract with Cirque du Soleil “O”, Garrett Allen secured contracts for the next year and a half, and Sienna Martinez, a 2018 – 2019 preparatory student, secured a contract with Cirque du Soleil’s “Love” performing Dance Trapeze.

Preparatory Program students will participate in our weekday afternoon Masters Program, which includes open gym, two hours a week of dance and our Master classes, which is a daily (Mon-Fri) two hours of concentrated program in your discipline, in order to train and advance from your Preparatory classes.
