With a blizzard scheduled to hit the Maine coast starting early in the morning, many schools and businesses are cancelling their programs for Monday.
We want people to remain safe at home and have made the decision to cancel Open Gym and Youth Troupe class for tomorrow evening.

We will resume our regularly scheduled programming next Monday on March 2nd.

Looking for something fun to do tonight?
We don't have youth troupe practice tonight, but there is Open Gym tonight!

Don't let the cold get you down or keep you from working on those new circus skill resolutions!

Open Gym starts up again on Monday Jan 5th as does the Youth Troupe!

If you are interested in trying out Youth Troupe and want to see what we have in store this season, feel free to drop in and try out this introductory class. This is a great program for ages 10 and up who are interested in learning circus skills who have an interest in performing.

This season in the troupe we will be working on aerials in our new rig, ground skills like clowning, and everything in between!
