Versatile Arts offers youth classes at all levels for students age 11-17. Students who have not yet turned 11 should check out the classes at SANCA. Students who have had some experience will need a student assessment to find out which class fits them best. Email us to set that up.
Please note that because our youth program is quite small, we cannot always accept new beginning students. If there are no intro-level class listed below, you can contact us to set up private or shared private lessons for them.

Youth Summer Camp is Aug 15-19, 2022. Registration is now open!
In Versatile Arts’ youth circus camp week, students will experience a variety of physical circus disciplines. In addition to a daily dose of aerial, students will learn the basics of hula-hooping, acro, and flexibility training. A variety of aerial apparatuses will be offered, and students will be organized into small groups based on aerial experience. Camp is open to all levels of students, including intro-level students and those new to circus. Each day will be divided into three 50-minute classes with short breaks in between providing opportunities for snacks and socializing.
If you have questions about camp week, please contact youth_program@versatilearts.net
