The Circus 1-ders sprang from a Circus I class, general circus for ages 5-6, taught by Terri Sullivan. Chosen for their innate talent, the Amazing Circus 1-ders  really live up to their name. 

The troupe was formed in March of 2008.  All of the performers, age  5-8, are students at SANCA and have trained many hours to hone their skills and learn how  to be young performers.  They perform in all circus disciplines, including tumbling, acrobatics and tight wire as well as the aerial arts such as trapeze, vertical rope and silks.  Favorite performances include The Moisture Festival, all SANCA shows, The Kirkland Summer Concert Series and The Wallingford Kiddie’s Parade. 

Future goals include more shows, learning new feats of daring that make their parents nervous, and new sparkly costumes.  As the Circus 1-ders are getting older they are moving to a new performance class called The Magnificent 7 as new 1-ders claim their place in 1-derland.
