Being a member of the Charlotte Cirque & Dance Center means you always have a place to practice, store equipment, work on new skills, and talk about dance and circus with others. Membership comes with a variety of benefits, including:

• Access Monday - Sunday from 8am - 9pm.

• Free use of some communal supplies and equipment, including German Wheels, Lyras, Trapeze, Silks; cross-training equipment (yoga balls, yoga blocks, hand weights, self-massage tools, etc.) a variety of mats, juggling equipment, and more.
