SANCA is my sanctuary, a reprieve from the stress of everyday life. SANCA is where I have found friends, a community, and a space to be myself, wholeheartedly. There has been a major upheaval in our community the past few weeks, as Covid-19 spreads, and it’s more important than ever to support each other and this space that we love.
I suspect many of you, like myself, are really going to miss the joyful freedom of circus for the next few weeks while SANCA is closed, or operating with severely curtailed hours and training opportunities. I can guarantee through personal experience –it is impossible to think about anything else while you are holding a handstand. I challenge anyone to worry about their laundry while halfway up a silk! And is there anything nicer to distract us from juggling our various life responsibilities than juggling a set of clubs? There’s no better place to practice any of these skills than at SANCA!
Even if we can’t be there in person, there is something we can do to support SANCA during this break. I hope you will join me in donating your remaining class time for winter session. This will help SANCA care for our beloved coaches and facilities during this unexpected break.
If you can donate your remaining class time for winter session, contact SANCA’s office at office@sancaseattle.org.
If you would like to make a donation of general support to help SANCA through this crisis, you can do that online at www.sancaseattle.org/give.
