    thisismy1337-deactivated2012121 asked: Hey! For the past two years I've been wanting to audition for your btec in circus arts but I've been put off thinking I don't have enough gymnastics abilities. I have alot of experience in acting and dancing and I also have skills in poi and contact juggling, I really feel this is the way forward for me and I am definitely considering taking gymnastics classes but I do feel I will be at a disadvantage with less gymnastic abilities than others!


    Answer:

    Hi,

    Thanks for your questions about the BTEC - it sounds like you have a lot of circus and performance skills and would be well placed to apply. A lot of our students come from either dance or gymnastic backgrounds and we take students based on future potential as well as existing experience.

    You can find out more about the BTEC here and if you’d like to go over the requirements and the contents of the BTEC in more detail we’d recommend emailing btec@circusspace.co.uk and they’ll be happy to help.

    Thanks,

    Circus Space
