Try circus for yourself whether you dream of flying on aerial apparatus like Heather, bouncing on a trampoline, juggling, or even balancing on a low tight wire! 😍

✨In circus and in life, there will always be risks to take. How do we as performers manage the inherent risks of circus in order to ensure the safest possible environment for our audience, students, and staff to enjoy, learn, and grow? In addition to countless hours of planning, training, rigging safety checks, crash mats, and safety lines, we put our trust in Specialty Insurance Agency, artists insuring artists so that when the unexpected arises, our safety net is ready.

🎪Specialty Insurance Agency is a company founded and run by artists of different kinds: a family of circus clowns and aerialists, woodworkers, dancers, and writers. They are a different kind of insurance agency - Specialty Insurance Agency understands what we do, why we do it, and how to insure it, because they do it too!

⭐Check out this video that features all of the people working hard behind the scenes at SIA to help keep circus artists safe and thriving, so you can keep coming to see performances, take classes, and jump into the unknown! With the help of Specialty Insurance Agency, we are safe to expect the unexpected.

📽️Video created by Libby Ulm of SIA with music by Sleeping At Last

[Description: Photo montage of members of the Specialty Insurance Agency including bullet points about each person's life and their passion for the arts.]
