Classes with the New Students! label have
no prerequisites and are open to everyone. All acts are marked Beginner

the level of experience and proficiency required within the specific area
of circus arts. For instance, in the aerial acts, Multiple Trapeze
is a beginner act open to all students; Triple Trapeze is an intermediate
act, and even level I Triple Trapeze requires a student to already possess
intermediate aerial proficiency; Swinging Trapeze is an advanced aerial
act that requires a student to possess advanced aerial skills even at
