We'll be distributing equipment in advance of classes again this year so please help us get you your equipment as quickly as possible throughout June.
We'll be holding classes from June 24 through July 23. The week of July 28 will have rehearsals and performances: On July 29 and July 30, classes will rehearse independently at roughly the same time as their usual schedule. On July 31, we will have a full run-through. We will then hold performances on August 1-3 (one performance each, time/location detail to come).
All classes are 55 minutes with the exception of Tiny Tots Trio. Tiny Tots Trio is a class for our youngest students that is held as 2 25-minute sessions (Tuesdays 5:30-5:55pm and 6:00-6:25pm). Each student should pick their preferred session or indicate a willingness to be in either session so we can try to keep them roughly even. We will contact you prior to the first day of class to confirm in which session we're expecting your child to participate.
COVID-19/Infectious Disease Precautions for 2025:
OPENAIR Circus is committed to supporting the health and safety needs of all members of our community and has chosen to maintain a level of vigilance about contagious diseases which is higher than the legal minimums.
We will be requiring all participants to remain masked at all times and we request cooperation with trying to maintain social distancing from people outside your own household. We will provide masks as needed. Thank you in advance for respecting our community's policy.
Additional notes around stilting
Beginner Stilting students: We will not be providing spotters this year. All students must have a spotter come with them to hold them up and help put on their stilts
Intermediate/Advanced Stilting students: Similar to the beginner stilting note above, we ask that all intermediate/advanced stilters come prepared to manage their own stilts without aid from our organizers
* - Required Fields
*While this class is open to ages 5-12 with parent(s) and/or caregiver(s), some acrobatic postures will be more easily performed with lighter children.
**Unlike most intermediate classes, Baton Twirling - Intermediate is available to a wider range of prior experience. Students with any of the following skills may join the class: Baton Twirling, Poi, or Juggling.

Equipment Loan Program: We will be loaning out the equipment for the summer. We will not be bringing equipment to the field each day to loan out to students.
