SANCA is one of the nation’s largest circus schools, both by number of students and square footage. A nonprofit dedicated to enriching the community through access to circus classes and performances, the school was founded in 2004 with a vision to bring the joy and creativity of circus arts to children of all ages.

SANCA is recognized nationally as a leader in youth circus arts education, safety, and instructor training. The school is located in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle, an area with limited access to arts and cultural opportunities, especially for children.
