CIRCUS FOR ANYONE
About Open Studio
Students who are currently enrolled in classes or otherwise approved by a C3 staff member may attend our open studios or practice times to practice on the ground or in the air. You are welcome to make up missed classes by attending an open studio session for free during the same session. Although it isn’t a full class, one or more instructors will be there monitoring the session and will be happy to give you advice or a spot on skills you are practicing.
*If you are not currently taking classes at C3, you must email info@commonwealthcircus.com prior to registering for Open Studio. Open Studio is not for students who are new to circus.
