Welcome to the Madison Circus Space!

We hope you’ll join us soon for a class, club, or performance.
Take a look around. We’re glad you’re here!

GET INVOLVED

There are lots of ways to get more circus in your life. At the Madison Circus Space you can take a class, join a club, come to a show or become a member. How do you want to circus?

Classes

We have tons of amazing classes for students of all skill levels! Whether you want to learn to fly through the air, gain better balance and strength, get in touch with your creativity, or just have a lot of fun trying something new, we have the class for you. See our class listings here.

Clubs

Almost all clubs that meet at MCS are open to the public, and all are just $10 and under. Some are even free! If you need more circus in your life and want an opportunity to meet awesome people while getting your fix, check out our clubs here.

Events

Every year, the MCS holds 6-10 special events and performances. Most charge admission on a sliding scale or donation basis. We’re always looking for performers, stagehands, rigging assistants, ticket takers, and volunteers to help with these events. See upcoming events here.

Memberships

Memberships are the heart of the MCS experience and part of what makes our space so unique. Our members, who are admitted through an application process, are permitted 24/7 access to our facility to train in their approved disciplines. Click here to find out more about MCS memberships.

Thank you to our community supporters!
