3 Summer Show 2018: Steam

When a young, idealistic H.G. Wells has a chance encounter with the enigmatic Jules Verne, they embark on a mind-blowing, time- travelling, steam-punking, fan-fiction fantasy that will take you from the earth to the moon and back. This summer, join Circus Juventas for a trippy trip into the brilliant minds of the fathers of sci-fi. Team up with a trio of adventurers, clash with sky pirates, flee from dystopian Morlocks, and join forces with Dr. Moreau and Captain Nemo. Mysterious islands and magnificent creatures, airships and aristocrats, hot air balloons and a mad scientist, plus a few leagues under the sea (20,000 to be exact) are just a few wonders waiting to be imagined. It’s a fourth-dimension adventure you won’t want to miss, so wind your watches, and we’ll see you in the future…or was it the past? Performer Information

4 Progressing Through the Program It can sometimes be a bit difficult to navigate a program as complex as ours. We hope a few real-life scenarios will help! Remember: if you would like specific feedback, let us know and we’ll set up a meeting with Rachel, one of our coaches and Artistic Department Co-Manager. Scenario 1: Lilly the Kinder Scenario 2: Lilly has been taking the Circus Kinders class all year. She performed in the spring show and just turned six in April! Sue the intermediate aerialist Her dad is wondering if she should continue to register her Sue has been taking Triple Trapeze and Spanish Web for Kinders for the summer session, or if she can start taking for several years and has progressed far in her training. a class in the youth program instead. What should he do? She normally takes class year-round, but wants to take the summer off this year. She approaches the Adminis- trative staff with a question: is taking the summer off Lilly is welcome to sign up for a really that big a deal? This is what they tell her: class in the youth program so long as she will be entering f irst grade come fall. She also has the option of staying in the summer Kinders class (if that’s what makes her more comfortable), in which case she will need to transition into the youth program for the fall. We recommend making the transition in the summer, as it is a shorter session with fewer students. Taking the summer off could affect Sue’s training come fall session: Of course! In fact, we always say that summer is Our registration process is based on priority status the BEST time to try new with first priority given to students returning to Scenario 3: acts.

Never fear: we are here to help! The information below highlights the important components and explains how to decipher the information, quickly, and accurately!

CLASS DESCRIPTION: general information about the act, but not details like levels and pre- reqs PRE-REQUISITES: skills and requirements PERFORMING STATUS: classes are non- needed before entering an act AND LEVEL. Also performing, spring show, or summer production helps explain level progressions within the act.

Class Information Prerequisites Performing Status MULTIPLE TRAPEZE (MT) This act entails the use of one double-decker trapeze on which six people perform simultaneously. Students learn basic- to intermediate-level trapeze maneuvers while learning to work, often in synchronicity, with a team.

CLASS CODE: a letter and number code CLASS DAY AND TIME: Most classes meet once a week for 55 used for registration tracking minutes unless otherwise indicated MORE ON CLASS CODES AGE RANGE: some classes have a range; others have a minimum age Codes denote the level of the act and are listed only in progression order (beginning to advanced) Codes for non-performing classes = 0000 Codes for spring show classes = start with 0100 and progress through 0900 Codes for summer production classes = 1000 The numbers following the dash denote the particular section of the class. Some classes have several sections offered at the same level.

Finding the Right Class for You! We have color-coded our class pages to make selection easier! Each act is marked to denote the level of pre-requisites needed for the FIRST level of that act. See below:

GREEN acts require no additional pre-requisites other than the age requirement. New to our program? Start here! These are the classes everyone is eligible for, no prior experience necessary!

YELLOW acts require previous experience to BEGIN training in this act. Look carefully at the pre-reqs listed to determine your eligibility. Requesting classes you are not yet eligible for will only slow down the registration process.

PURPLE acts require an ADVANCED level of training even for the lowest level. These classes are often marked as “invitation only.” If you are interested in any of these acts but have not received a recommendation from your coach, indicate your interest in the “notes” section of your online registration. 6 Checklist of Classes Below you will find a comprehensive list of all classes offered at CJ!

(Please note: We do not offer a class for age 2 in summer session. Check back in fall 2018 for this class offering.) Designed to offer children the opportunity to try their hands in all things circus, our Toddlers and Circus Kinders jump and leap, turn and soar, and style and smile, all within the safety of our arena and with our first-class instructors! Take a look at the many day/class time offerings, as well as general questions answered below!

Class Information Prerequisites Performing Status TODDLERS (TD) A unique program exclusively for 2 to 5 year olds. Genres explored include balance, acrobatics, expression, juggling, and aerial. Please note: We do not offer a class for age 2 in summer session.

CK 0100-01 Circus Kinders ages 5-6 (Thur 4:00 PM) Meets minimum age by Sept 1, 2018 and space availability Spring Show 2019 CK 0100-02 Circus Kinders ages 5-6 (Sat 12:15 PM) CK 0100-03 Circus Kinders ages 5-6 (Thur 5:00 PM)

Special note on Toddlers/Kinders Summer Registration: If your student participated in a Toddlers class this past academic year, and they will meet the minimum age requirement by Sept 1, 2018, then they CAN move into the Circus Kinders program for summer session. The same thing applies for Kinders moving into the youth program—as long as they will be entering 1st grade this fall, you can choose from our youth class offerings. You also have the option of staying in the same class as this past year (if that makes your student more comfortable); however, they will need to make the transition to the next level for 2018. I’m Interested! FAQs about Toddlers and Kinders Programs:

What equipment do they work with? All kinds, including hoops, trampoline, juggling, trapeze, tumbling, vault mini, mini hammock, and low wire! The skills they learn coincide with their development, so Kinders get to do a bit more than the Toddlers do.

Am I allowed to be in class with my child? Sometimes the first week can be tough for our youngest students. During this transition, parents can be permitted to work with their child on the floor. Once they get in the groove, parents are encouraged to participate less.

How do I know if my child is ready for this program? We really leave it up to our parents to use their best judgment; after all, you know your child best. Please note: our general policy is not to offer class refunds, but you can come check out our facilities before committing to class.

Does my child have to perform? Not necessarily. Summer session is a great time to try out classes WITHOUT the pressure of performing. Should your child decide to stick with the program, you will have to commit to performing come winter session.

How much does it cost? Toddlers and Kinders classes are $165 for summer session. Additional costs are associated with performing.

How do I get signed up? If you’re brand new to CJ, you need to fill out the Pre-Registration Form online. This is how we collect information on your student (as well as get you onto our mailing list). Once registration opens up, log into the system and get signed up. It’s that simple!

What can I do to make sure my child gets placed into class? Two things: first, get your registration in sooner than later. Second, list as many class day/time options as can fit in your schedule. If we can’t get you into your first choice, we will work extra hard to get you your second or third! 9 Experience Classes Promotes confidence, whimsy, and courage to conquer new experiences

Not sure yet which act you want to specialize in? Want to try it all? Our experience classes offer beginning students the opportunity to try several acts offered at Circus Juventas. In addition to introducing students to beginning level classes, these experience classes also give students a taste of the intermediate acts they may choose to take in the future. Choose Circus Experience to get a taste of all circus genres, or choose a more specific option!

I’ve Taken an Experience Class: What Comes Next? What did you like the most? What did your student enjoy most in the variety of acts offered throughout his/her experience class? Look to a more specific act in the genre of that act so that the training can become more concentrated on what he/ she enjoyed. Look at the options in the session guide! Find any of the beginning level classes (highlighted in GREEN) throughout the guide. We’ve listed class descriptions and pre-requisites to help determine what each act has to offer. There is also our Class Finder that offers selections for narrowing down options based on a variety of filters. Talk to the admin staff ! We’re always here to help and can also be a great conduit for gathering feedback from the coaches. Need help remembering what that circular, aerial contraption was called? We can help you figure it out in addition to answering any questions you may have about the program. Also, Artistic Department Co-Manager, Rachel, is a great resource to provide guidance with moving through the various levels of our program, too. Email [email protected] to set up a meeting with her for consultation. 10 The classes listed below include information specific to our adult students. (Please note that WINGS and OUT OF THE CHAIR are on hiatus for summer session.) We are proud to Adult Classes offer these specialty programs as part of our curriculum!

Can someone explain the registration priority process to me? Certainly! Because we serve over 900 students (and are currently at capacity), we have developed over the years a comprehensive way of handling the nearly 3,000 class requests we get every session.

Step 1: Students returning from the previous session are guaranteed enrollment in the same acts they were taking (if they are choosin g to return). Step 2: Students returning from the previous session requesting NEW classes are given priority for open spots. Step 3: Students returning from a previous session are placed into classes before new students. Step 4: New students are placed into classes.

The steps above only apply to the process if class requests are submitted BY the registration deadline. Once that deadline comes and goes, requests are evaluated solely on a first-come, first-served basis.

The registration deadline is: Wednesday, May 2 @ 10:00 a.m.! Click here to register!

Now don’t get discouraged! Just because you don’t have the “first priority” that does NOT mean that we will be unable to place you. But that IS a reason to get your registration submitted sooner than later. 26
