Prep School is a preparatory program, designed to nurture, train, guide and advise circus students with their sights set on auditioning for pre-pro and professional training programs, (including Aloft’s Two Year Program, set to return in 2022). Students will receive 4 hours/day, 5 days/week training over 3 months in Aloft’s beautiful and inspiring facility. They will study the core skills required for most circus programs--ground and aerial acrobatics, strength, flexibility, physical theater and dance. Students will also be coached in audition prep, receive guidance and advice on the best schools to apply to, receive help with applications and letters of reference, assistance with filming of audition videos, and anything else needed to make their transition to circus school smooth and successful. The ideal candidate for this program is enthusiastic and excited to learn with some background in movement arts--an intermediate recreational circus student, a gymnast looking for a longer career, theater artists hoping to expand into circus. There is no audition required for this program, but spaces are limited and students will be invited based on an application.

We will be running two prep school sessions. Please indicate which you are interested in (you can pick both!).
Summer: June 7-August 28
Autumn: September 7-Dec 4

The cost for this program is $3000 and limited financial aid is available to BIPOC students. Please reach out for more info on this scholarship.
