Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between each workshop type?
We know we have a lot of different “workshop” types! Here is the breakdown of what each type involves:
- Workshops: Typically last one day and are led in a specific discipline.
- Immersions: These are 2 – 3 day workshops for you to deep dive into your favorite discipline.
- Circus Intensives: These are multiple week long intensive programs design to deep dive into your training!
- Skills Retreats: Week long intensives to delve in a specific area of expertise. (Think an amazing traincation in Vermont!)
- Meetings:Meetings are 3+ day community gatherings that are participant driven to skill share, jam, and connect with your community!
- Teacher Trainings: In depth 3+ day trainings that cover the methodologies and intricacies of teaching circus.
Do I need experience to take a workshop?
It depends on the workshop! Many of our workshops are open to beginners and are a great way to try something new with supportive coaching. Others are designed for students with previous experience in a specific discipline. Each workshop description notes any prerequisites, so you’ll know exactly what skill level is expected before you register.
What should I wear to a workshop?
Wear comfortable, form-fitting clothing that lets you move easily—think leggings, athletic shorts, and snug tops. Please avoid zippers, buttons, or anything that could catch on equipment. Bare feet or clean indoor sneakers are typically best (your workshop description will note if anything special is needed).
What are your workshop refund policies?
Our refund policy is as follows:
- One month before the first day of the workshop, 95% of the fee may be refunded or 100% credited.
- Two weeks before the first day of the workshop, 47.5% of the class fee may be refunded or 50% credited.
- Less than two weeks before the first day of the workshop, no refund or credit will be given.
