May 28, 2020 Update

Hello C3 Community!

Today we’ve got a couple of updates for you about our online classes and also how and when we plan to reopen our doors in JP in the coming weeks/months.

1. Sign Up for Online Classes: Our online class schedule is now posted through June 14th! We’ve got new rounds of our mini-sessions in Kinesiology, Liberation Health Model, Trapeze & Hoop Conditioning, Circus Science & Anatomy, Living Room Tumbling, and Grounded Beats. We also have a couple of new classes on the schedule. Don’t forget to buy and use an Online Class MultiPass if you want to be able to cancel and reschedule your class reservations.

2. Phased Reopening: On Monday, May 18th, Governor Baker announced his phased plan for reopening the Massachusetts economy. The plan involves four phases. Each phase will be a minimum of three weeks but may take longer depending on how each phase goes with regard to COVID-19 data in MA. C3 is in phase two or three depending on the type of programming we offer but is definitely NOT in phase one. This means that C3 will start opening no earlier than mid-late June, and most likely later. It is also possible that we may be able to open for some types of programming before we open for others—for example, private lessons or camps might start before group classes. We’ll know more in the next couple of weeks and will be in touch with details soon.On top of these state guidelines, we will be creating our own circus-specific phased approach for opening our doors. We’ll be taking into account what is best for the C3 staff and community as we make this plan. Over the next few weeks we will be releasing the details of our COVID response plan, and will continue to provide details about our reopening timeline to you as our plan becomes more clear.

Thank you for your patience and support through this time. While we await the reopening plan we hope to see you online for classes, joining us for Circus Abs at 1pm M-F on Instagram, or participating in our 10-Minute Break Series.

3. Ways to Support Our Staff: Many of you have asked how you can support C3’s teachers in the face of this closure. You can do so in one of three ways:

We are facing a massive loss of income from canceled classes and programs. Any support helps, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With Gratitude,
