Winter Intensive

Spend your Winter playing, training, and performing with Circus Sanctuary in sunny Tucson, AZ. Expect to learn a variety of circus skills, gain an in-depth knowledge of your chosen apparatus, get comfortable with choreography, and develop your unique movement style. The first half of Intensive is spent building aerial and ground skills, the next half is spent on act creation and performance prep. This program culminates in a show where you'll perform an original act! This winter is your chance to level up, clean it up, and create something you feel good about.

  • This year’s Intensive program runs January 6th- March 24th. The program meets every Saturday & Sunday from 12-3pm. Our annual show, Circus in Bloom, is scheduled for March 24th at 2pm.

  • The program includes 6 hours of weekly Intensive classes, 6 private lessons, and unlimited group classes. Buy the Add On package for 6 additional lessons offered at a discounted rate.

  • This will be the first Intensive class to fully take place in the new studio space! The showcase will also be held in studio!

  • The total cost of this program is $3250.

    We require a non-refundable deposit of $1,000 to hold your spot in the program.

    We will work with you to schedule the remainder of your payments. The program must be paid off by the end of Intensive.
