**Soaring to New Heights: Unveiling Our New Space for Term 3!**


*Welcome to an exciting new chapter at our Circus and Aerial training in the Circus Centre! Term 3 has taken off with a burst of energy as we settle into our brand new premises nestled in the vibrant Bibra Lake. With meticulous roof engineering reports and top-notch rigging, we are thrilled to present a revamped and all encompassing space that has allowed us to take our aerial adventures to more astounding flights.*


**Aerial Equipment Galore: Unleashing Creativity in the Air**


One of the highlights of our new space is the diverse array of aerial equipment that adorns our studio. In addition to the aerial silks, trapeze and lyra that have always been an integral part of our curriculum, we have now introduced thrilling additions such as hammocks, rope, and spinning dance trapeze. These new additions have been met with enthusiasm from our students, allowing them to explore various aerial disciplines and discover their own unique styles. The possibilities are boundless, and we cannot wait to witness the creativity and grace that will unfold within our studio walls.


**Focused on the Future: Nurturing Young Talent**


At The Circus Centre, we believe in investing in the future of Circus and Aerial arts. With this in mind, we have streamlined and expanded our class offerings with a specific emphasis on developing young talent. Our daily schedule now boasts 3 to 4 youth classes catering to ages 5 to teens. We aim to provide a safe, supportive, and fun environment where young aerialists can grow their skills and confidence. From foundational techniques to more advanced maneuvers, our youth classes cater to all skill levels, ensuring every aspiring aerialist finds their wings and soars with grace.


**Specialized Classes: Unleashing Your Potential**


In our dedication to tailoring our classes to suit individual preferences and ambitions, we have introduced specialized sessions that cater to particular interests. For those who wish to focus solely on the mesmerizing art of aerials or aerial silk and hammocks, we now offer dedicated "Aerial Only" and "Silk Only" classes. These classes provide a concentrated learning experience for young students to master the intricacies of their chosen apparatus.


We understand that aerial arts encompass a broad range of skills beyond aerial work itself. To cater to the acrobatic enthusiasts among us, we proudly present our new "Acro Flips" class. Here, students can dive into the world of flips, tricks, and dynamic tumbling movements, honing their agility and flexibility.


**Soaring Demand: Expanding Teen Classes and Performance Streams**


Our teen classes have garnered immense popularity, with almost every slot filled to capacity. In response to this overwhelming demand, we are thrilled to announce our plans to add more teen classes to the schedule. These classes will accommodate varying skill levels, ensuring that every teen aerialist has the opportunity to develop their talents and shine.


Moreover, in recognition of the passion and dedication displayed by our advanced students, we are launching a tailored performance stream. This stream will allow passionate performers to delve deeper into the art of circus and aerial arts, honing their skills for public showcases and possibly even competitions. We can't wait to witness the awe-inspiring performances that will unfold as our students take center stage.


**Embrace the Adventure: Join Us for Term 3!**


As we embark on this exhilarating journey in our new space, we extend an open invitation to all aerial enthusiasts and aspiring artists out there. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced aerialist, a young talent or a seasoned performer, our doors are open to you. Term 3 promises to be a time of growth, creativity, and community as we come together to explore the magical world of circus and aerial arts.


Come join us and soar to new heights in Term 3! Embrace the adventure, challenge your limits, and let your imagination take flight. Together, we will reach for the skies and create unforgettable moments suspended in the air.

We have now reopened in Bibra Lake!

It's quite remarkable that we were told only in mid-March that our lease would be terminated and we had to be out by the 15th of June. To find, secure, fund, and then make the move mid-term, closing our school for only 3 weeks, while we packed up literally tons of equipment, de-rigged, moved, set up, roof engineering reports, and then re-rigged our new space - a huge endeavor. Thank you to our growing community of wonderful students, parents, trainers, and helpers!


New equipment

We've installed brand new aerial equipment including; 6 silks and 3 hammocks, a new rope, a spinning rope with hand loop, plus the trapezes and Lyra's - We still have more rigging to do and looking at a pulley system in the near future.

Class schedule Adjustments

This last week we have been adjusting programs and the class schedule so that it runs smoothly with our groups and classes not clashing with each other.

With a smaller space we do need to be mindful of class numbers and will need to cap classes at respective sizes. But we will be opening more classes throughout the week and Saturdays. Term 3 schedule will be posted and classes open soon!

Parent, foyer area.

We'd love to make this as comfortable for waiting parents and students - If you have any suggestions, or old furniture (couches, etc) and would like to donate, please let us know. Thank you Matt (Kitty's Dad, for the lovely couch - which is extremely popular).

Costs

The financial cost of the move has been huge, with no help or support from the W.A. Department of the Arts, Sport and Rec, or any viable local Fremantle Counsel support. Facing a difficult challenge to cease or take the risk and push ahead.


For me personally seeing the school grow over these past years, through covid, and the day-to-day survival of keeping a non-funded arts organisation afloat in a difficult marketplace, is extremely demanding. But, the outcome of watching our young students develop and shine in our programs both, physically more capable, and emotionally more confident, resilient, and happy, as well as our young teens, some now 5 or 6 years with us, taking on the role of youth trainers with a passion and caring attitude towards their younger charges.


This, and watching these older students growth in breathtaking high-level circus skills and performance development, we have grown our own exciting troupe of very talented young performers, who are growing as young artists. I could not hesitate to continue.


Help

For the school to continue and meet the increased Lease costs on top of our previous rent I am putting it out there for help, expertise, and guidance. We face a lot of challenges both financially and logistically/staff wise, I would like to see if we have enough interest in forming a parent group or resource to help guide the school to make it most valuable community resource for its members and families.

Fees

Due to the increased lease coasts, we will need to adjust our fees in the near future. We have always tried to keep them reasonable and happy to make any payment plans if needed.

Due to the financial outlay, we are not able to afford any admin staff atm. If you can please be patient, if there are any admin whizz's out there? Who may be able to volunteer or just help out at key times after school etc? Please Let me know.


Thank you for your continued support.
