Welcome to a different sort of circus class - Injury Prevention! We will be taking a top down approach to stabilization and strengthening of muscles and joints starting with the neck and going all the way to the feet. Each week we focus on a different body part learning their relevance to not only circus, but how to keep your bits healthy throughout an active life. We will cover anatomy, the dos/don'ts of movement and training, a sprinkling of physics, and some neurology thrown in for fun.

No prerequisites required! Bring your body, a notebook, and get curious about movement with circus instructor, body mechanic, and Physical Therapist Deb Chesser.

For people looking to learn something new and exciting, circus is a non-competitive, artistic, fun and safe discipline. All classes at SHOW focus on vocabulary retention, interpersonal life skills, and having fun in a safe environment. Circus is a great way to increase self-esteem, have fun, get in shape, improve focus and learn skills that will translate to every aspect of your life. Circus for Fun, Circus for Life.

Adult students who miss 1-2 classes during the session may attend 1-2 Open Studios free of charge, per session, to make up for the missed classes, as space allows. Students making up missed classes using Open Studios must register through the office.
Please noteā€”if you miss a class due to COVID-related reasons, the cost of that class will be credited to your P13 account based on the single per class rate.
