School of Acrobatics and New Circus Arts

Located at 674 South Orcas Street in Seattle, Washington, the School of Acrobatics and New Circus Arts is dedicated to improving the mental, emotional, and physical health of children of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities through the joyous creativity of acrobatics and circus arts. Our mission is to engage students in these unique art forms to promote overall well-being.

At SANCA, we respectfully acknowledge the original and current caretakers of the land, water, and air in the Seattle area, the Coast Salish people, and all of their ancestors and descendants. We also recognize the history of enslaved labor, contracted labor workers, migrations, and immigrant labor that have contributed to the growth of the region. It is our collective responsibility to honor, protect, and sustain this land and its Indigenous roots.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, SANCA is committed to providing youth scholarships to students from all economic backgrounds. We strive to make our programs accessible to all, regardless of financial barriers.

For those interested in learning more about the Indigenous history of the area, we provide resources such as the story of the North Wind Weir and a map by Native Land to help identify the Indigenous land you are on. Additionally, we encourage support for the Duwamish Tribe through donations to Real Rent Duwamish or purchases from the Duwamish Longhouse.

Join us at SANCA to explore the world of acrobatics and circus arts while supporting Indigenous communities and promoting overall well-being for all.
