FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Do you take walk-ins?
No, we do not take walk-ins. Pre-registration is required as our arena staff does not handle payments and the class may already be full.
Why do I need to pre-register?
Pre-registering is required due to limited class sizes, equipment availability and safety. Limiting class sizes gives clients an optimal experience.
When you pre-register, you also pay. Our arena staff and coaches do not handle payments. All payments and registration goes through MindBody.
How do I know what level to register for?
Students should register for a beginner class first. The coach will assess your level and discuss it with you after class.
Students are only allowed to take intermediate or advanced classes with a CAC coach approval.
Silks clients may fill out a placement questionnaire. Email Register@circusarts.org for the form.
How do I register and how will I know if I registered successfully?
