Dress Code (updated May 2024):
Circus training has very specific safety parameters unique from other movement arts. Please adhere to the dress code and know the coaches have the right to refuse training if wardrobe endangers students or apparatuses.
No zippers, buttons, watches, and jewelry are permitted. Wear fitted and footless athletic leggings that cover and protect the backs of the knees. Long hair needs to be tied up. No long artificial nails: these nails limit the person's ability to grip or safely stay in the air or maintain proper hand placement during ground acrobatic moves
For beginner classes only: fitted, basic tank tops or tee shirts covering midriffs are permitted.
For open level and advanced classes: unitards or leotards are best to cover midriffs to protect skin.
If you have any questions please check with your coach or email info@abcirque.com.
