No, but by doing circus you will become strong and flexibile! Any of our Intro/Beginner or All Levels classes are designed with new students in mind. 
We will work with you at your level and help you get where you want to go. Our instructors are trained to make even the hardest things accessible, by breaking them down into appropriate progressions. Our job is to help you build strength and body awareness. This will progress over time as you continue taking class. Try not to get overwhelmed by all the bad-assery around you. We were all beginners once. Every body, every age, every ability, every level is welcome.

Wear something that you can move in! Form fitting clothing is usually best as it doesn’t end up over your head if you go upside down. For aerial classes covering your belly and the backs of your knees can help prevent scrapes and burns. On pole however skin helps you stick to the pole so shorts are encouraged. If you’re unsure of what to wear to class, don’t sweat it, just ask your instructor at the first class. Please avoid wearing jewelry on the silks as it causes rips in the fabric. No transparent material that shows ‘any bits’ is allowed. No undergarments are allowed to be used in place of workout attire.
Scented personal products (such as fragrances, colognes, lotions and powders) that are perceptible to others in the studio should not be worn. Use of deodorant/antiperspirant to minimize body odors is highly encouraged. We keep some spray deodorant in the bathroom should you want to freshen up before or after class.

All of our group classes are ages 13 and up. For students under the age of 18 we require consent from a parent or guardian. For our pole classes we also require consent from our instructors since not all pole classes are suitable for teens. We predominantly teach circus to adults because ADULTS DESERVE TO PLAY TOO!! With that being said we do offer Kid’s Parties as well as Private and Semi-Private Lessons for all ages. We love working with people of all ages and backgrounds so please reach out if you need help figure out which of our offerings is right for you.

We aim to be. We have handicapped parking right in front of the space. We have ADA compliant bathrooms and have clear pathways for wheelchairs and other mobility devices with the exception of mats that we are happy to move for you. We strive to be accessible to all people that have the desire to do circus. Many of our instructors are already skilled in working with and modifying for physical limitations and/or neurodivergence. We have instructors that are fluent in sign language. Please reach out if you have specific needs and we will do our best to meet them!

We have many different offerings for our group classes. Click the BOOK NOW button, and choose your adventure from there! Just remember to CREATE AN ACCOUNT when you first purchase so that you can maintain your class history, future schedule, and receive a credit for any cancelled classes (by the studio) or reschedule with ease. AFTER you pay for your class, package, or membership, you will have the option to REGISTER AN ACCOUNT.

Scheduling of private lessons can be done through our website! Just hit the book now button and schedule with your favorite instructor. Prices and availability will vary between instructors since each instructor sets their own prices and is in charge of their own availability calendar.

Circus Sanctuary offers regular open studios as well as point and pole rentals for personal training use. There is no instruction with these, whether from instructors or fellow students so make sure you’re working on material you feel comfortable with. We do always have staff on hand in case of emergency and to assist with rigging changes. You can book these offerings by hitting Book Now and then Open Studios and Pole Rentals.

If you like working independently you might consider our Artist Residency which includes unlimited open studios, pole, and point rentals!

ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Full payment must be made at the time of booking unless otherwise noted in the system. All payments are nonrefundable. Any no-shows will forfeit the class fee, and not be able to reschedule.

Rescheduling & Cancelling out of a class requires a minimum of 24 hours notice before the start time of class, either through the scheduling system or by email (if you’re having difficulty using the system). The system will not allow rescheduling/cancelling within 24hours of the start time.

Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice will forfeit the lesson fee (group or private). Class cancellations, with more than 24 hours until start time, will be credited to your account automatically for future use in any class.

Group classes that are rescheduled in the system require you to rebook with the same class/instructor. If you would like to reschedule into a different class/instructor, please cancel the class instead. This will allow you to rebook into a different class or with another instructor.

If the studio cancels a class due to low attendance, you will receive a cancellation notice via email and your class will automatically be credited to your account for future use.

Communicate with us as soon as possible. We will do what we can to work with you. Please do not come to the studio if you are sick with anything contagious. If you are getting over being sick but still have some lingering respiratory symptoms we ask that you wear a mask until it clears up. For longer term injuries or sickness we may be able to pause your class pack until you’re healed. Certain conditions like concussions require a doctors note in order to “return to play”.

Any class with less than 4 reservations may be cancelled. The cancellation will take place 4-6 hours before class time. If you have a reservation you will be notified by email. Please check your email before driving to class. All changes will be reflected on our scheduling system 4 hours before class begins (meaning you should really sign up in advance!).

*Weekend classes (Sat & Sun) that do not have minimums may be cancelled the night before or morning of.

Start with the confirmation email you would've received directly after you booked into the class. Then click the CHANGE/CANCEL APPOINTMENT button.

Once you're directed to a new page, first make sure you have an account (if you do not, there will be a button to REGISTER FOR ACCOUNT right below the class information). We recommend logging in first, though this is not required (login button in top right corner of page, very small). You should be able to reschedule your class using the directions on the site.

For Class Packages you receive a discounted class rate in exchange for a 3 month commitment to a specific number of classes. At the end of the 3 month period, which starts at the time of purchase, any unused classes from a package will be added to our Community Scholarship Fund.
All Sales are Final and nontransferable. Please make sure to register for an account after you purchase!

Once you buy a membership you can immediately start booking classes. Please note, unused classes do not roll over month to month. Membership (and access to classes) starts on the day of purchase and will automatically renew one month later. You can cancel at any time but will need to pay the initial set up fee again if you chose to start back up.

You may film yourself during class. Please ask for consent before filming others or posting media with other people in the background.



The studio reserves the right to share class videos on social media and repost student content to our account. We love being tagged in your photos and videos and seeing you so happy in our space makes us happy! Please tag us so we can share the joy!

Purchase a gift certificate for friends and family! Please note our system does not allow you to use gift certificates for packages, but we DO allow it at Circus Sanctuary. If you would like us to convert your gift certificate into a class pack, please email the studio or see us at the front desk so we can convert it manually into a class pack for you. Gift certificates can be used for any Circus Sanctuary offerings and they never expire.

Circus Sanctuary aims to foster a welcoming, inclusive and respectful environment to all participants. We do not tolerate bullying, disrespectful behavior or violation of others’ personal space. Such behavior will result in being removed from the studio, and no longer being able to attend classes at Circus Sanctuary.
Please respect your instructors and fellow students and leave your phone conversations outside the studio. This applies to text messaging and emailing as well. No street shoes permitted in our studio rooms.

Alcohol consumption is not permitted prior to any physical activities at the studio. If you are intoxicated when arriving at our studio, you will not be allowed to participate, and will not be refunded your money.
