Give stock to School of Acrobatics and New Circus Arts

SANCA’s mission is to improve the mental, emotional, and physical health of children of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities by engaging them in the joyous creativity of acrobatics and circus arts. Our Vision Circus is the home of the spectacular . . . We dream of a world in which all people share in an inspired and thriving community transformed by world-class instruction, performance, and play. We know in our bodies that every body can benefit from the joys of circus. We are unbounded in our imagination and unbridled in our passion to explore the fullest capacities of the human body and spirit. We know in our minds that lives can be forever changed by a single moment of inspiration. We nurture a broad spectrum of creative expression from clownish hilarity to acrobatic virtuosity. We know in our hearts that circus arts provide vital pathways to personal and collective empowerment. We cultivate the spectacular in unexpected places, dissolve perceived differences, and celebrate our shared strength. Circus is for Every Body! SANCA’s Values The SANCA community embraces the following core values in the work we do, the circus we learn, and the relationships we build: Inclusivity: We create a welcoming community that fosters trust, cooperation, and a sense of belonging. We provide access for all to experience the joy of circus arts, whether as active participants, as engaged spectators, or as patrons of circus arts. Play: We delight in the joy of creative play, laughter, and having fun. Circus gives us opportunities to grow our minds, grow our bodies, and grow our hearts. Respect: We believe mutual respect is the bedrock of a healthy community. We treat ourselves and others with integrity and compassion in our words and deeds. Excellence: We hold ourselves and each other to the highest personal and safety standards. Understanding that failure and humility are integral to success and growth, we encourage persistence in the face of challenges. Creativity: We create opportunities that ignite our imaginations and cultivate wonder in our community.
