Saturday August 24th 2019

#CWexpands
We are more than doubling our square footage and adding on another 1,600 square feet of studio space! This means 4 new movement spaces as well as expanding our aerial space another 400 sqft past the teal curtains to allow for two separate classes to run in the main area! We are also remolding a designated stage, backstage, and greenroom space to allow for shows and events! 

Fundraisers!

With the strong support of our local community we are fundraising to upgrade the studio. 
​
Our new space will give us the opportunity to expand kids' after-school programming, improve our overall accessibility, and offer even more events, classes, and activities to all.

Expansion? What all does that mean?

So glad you asked! There is SO much that goes into turning a warehouse into a Circus School.
  • With safety being a top priority we will extend the carpet bonded flooring throughout the aerial/acro space.
  • For the movement spaces we will be installing a shock absorbing foam sub-floor with a beautiful laminate hardwood finish to ensure the space is not only beautiful, but comfortable for long term use on dancers bodies.
  • We will be redesigning the space to include a performance stage complete with a huge backstage and greenrooms to accommodate any size group. 
  • A designated 10' x 10' equipment room right off the studio floor for easy storage and management of all our studio equipment, props, and apparatus.
  • Two professional 45mm poles for independent training and practice
  • Four rentable private studio spaces for practices, consultations, photo/video recording, or any number of additional uses.
  • Expansion of our loft studio by 200 sqft for a total of 650 sqft of beautiful hardwood flooring
  • Installation of a LED translucent wall
  • Electrical work to install additional outlets and lighting
  • and so much painting and scrubbing and more.


We're Growing!

Cirque Wonderland Studios opened its doors in April of, 2018. The teachers, staff, students, and guest instructors have created an amazing community in this facility. And after 15  months, Cirque Wonderland is expanding by 1,600 square feet.

With the extra space, CW will be able to offer more classes with the addition of six rig points. The facility will also feature a new movement/dance room, high ceiling movement space, a small multi-purpose rentable studio space, and expansion of the loft studio. Plus, we'll be adding poles for practice, cross-training, and rehearsals and we will now have a designed equipment storage space for our coaches and staff.

With these changes, CW will expand all its programming, including more youth classes. We'll also upgrade the performance space, including a full backstage and separate green space. And CW will now be open for rentals for special events during off-times.

The expansion will include: 
  • lots of painting
  • electrical upgrades
  • dance/movement floor installation
  • carpet-boned foam flooring
  • a couple of new walls
  • installation of LED light wall

And lots of work and money. 

To that end, CW will be hosting a two-part fundraiser on August 24th.  From noon to 4:00 pm, the Circus Carnival will feature interactive games, food, drink, and music for the whole family.  

Then adults can enjoy the Cirque After Dark: A Vaudeville Fundraiser from 7:00 - 11:00 pm. This event will feature gaming tables, vaudeville acts, aerial champagne serving, and more. This adults-only event will also include a silent auction.  

So how can you help? 

You can volunteer to work a shift, donate to the silent auction, or sponsor an activity  (financial sponsor OR build it and run it yourself!). We'd also appreciate your help in spreading the word; you can RSVP to the events on facebook and invite your friends or  forward this email to anyone you think might want to get involved.
Of course you can always email me directly at Felicia@CirqueWonderland.com
