Who We Are
Founded and led by expert aerialist, choreographer, and professional dancer, Frances Donohoe, Cirque welcomes students of every age, from toddlers to retirees and everything in between. As you gain strength, balance, endurance, and flexibility, you will proceed to more advanced levels, explore new equipment, and learn new skills, all in Southeast Alaska's premier circus arts studio.
Sitka Cirque is located in the beautiful town of Sitka, on the outer coast of Southeast Alaska. Our pristine studio offers up to 30 feet of vertical height, as well as 12 individual aerial points all spaced 10 feet apart. Sitka Cirque is privileged to have such an incredible space where every student gets to have their own equipment for class.
