Sainte Anne Circus

Sainte Anne Circus (The SAC)

Sainte Anne Circus , also known as Le SAC , is a circus school located in Sainte-Anne-d'Auray , in the Morbihan region. Situated at Le Garage, 67 bis rue du Général de Gaulle , it offers regular circus arts training for children from 4 years old , teenagers and adults.

Children — 4 to 8 years old

For children aged 4 to 8 , the workshops are primarily built around juggling, acrobatics, balance, and coordination. Students practice rolls, cartwheels, and jumps with a mini-trampoline. They also discover the tightrope and the high wire, as well as various aerial disciplines.

• Juggling
• Acrobatics (roll, cartwheel)
• Jumps with mini-trampoline
• Balance and coordination
• Discovering the small and the large thread
• Aerial disciplines: silks, trapeze, hoop, rope

Youth — From age 9 and teenagers

From age 9 through adolescence, instruction allows students to explore a range of activities and then begin to specialize in a chosen discipline. The goal is to progressively enable young people to gain autonomy and develop their technique .

• Thread
• Unicycle
• Acting
• Aerial fabric
• Trapeze
• Gradual specializations according to individual preferences

Improvement

Sainte Anne Circus offers dedicated performance slots. For the 2026-2027 season, two "Performance" groups are scheduled. These allow practitioners wishing to progress further to have additional time to deepen their training.

Adults

Adults benefit from a wide range of offerings: they can discover or refine one or more disciplines according to their interests. A specific two-hour "Adult Aerials" course is offered on Wednesday evenings, allowing for more time to be dedicated to aerial disciplines.

• Ground acrobatics
• Pyramids
• Flexibility
• Aerial fabric
• Trapeze
• Juggling
• Trampoline
• Thread
• Unicycle
• Acting
• German wheel

Sainte Anne Circus also reserves Sunday mornings for open practice for adults. This slot, lasting a maximum of four hours , operates with a minimum of two participants and provides a space for sufficiently independent practitioners wishing to continue their training outside of a traditional class.

Materials and equipment

The diversity of equipment is one of the school's strengths. Students can practice on the ground, on a tightrope, on a unicycle or trampoline, but also at height thanks to aerial apparatus. The German wheel completes this particularly wide range of equipment.

• Ground
• Thread
• Unicycle
• Trampoline
• Aerial fabric
• Trapeze
• Hoop
• Aerial rope
• German wheel

However, the practice is not presented solely as a pursuit of performance. The school emphasizes the educational and personal benefits of circus arts: developing imagination , self-confidence , perseverance , and a sense of community . Each student is encouraged to progress at their own pace while developing strength, flexibility, coordination, and artistic qualities.

2026-2027 Season and Organization

For the 2026-2027 season, classes will resume from September 14, 2026. The program covers a large part of the week with groups organized by age and level, allowing educational continuity from the first discovery at age 4 to more autonomous practice in adolescence and adulthood.

• Several time slots for 4-6 year olds and 7-8 year olds
• Longer classes for 9-12 year olds
• Teenage groups
• Skills development opportunities

The school also offers workshops. Workshops were held in July 2026 , and the membership fee paid at that time can be applied to registration for annual courses. However, the schedule for upcoming holiday periods should be checked directly with the association as it is published.

Association and historical status

Sainte Anne Circus is a very recent organization in its current form as a non-profit association. Founded in 2026 , the association now operates from the Garage in Sainte-Anne-d'Auray, a space already dedicated to circus arts. This explains the presence of previous organizations associated with the Équilibres school at the same address and location.

However, the information published for the current season clearly identifies Sainte Anne Circus as the structure organizing the 2026-2027 courses at the Garage.

With its children's, teenagers' and adults' classes, its improvement groups, its aerial disciplines and its independent practice slots, Sainte Anne Circus offers a particularly complete range for a local school.

• Juggling
• Acrobatics
• Balances
• Thread
• Unicycle
• Trampoline
• Fabric
• Trapeze
• Hoop
• Aerial rope
• Pyramids
• Flexibility
• Acting
• German wheel

In Sainte-Anne-d'Auray, the school is today a place for discovering, learning and deepening circus arts, with particular attention paid to autonomy, individual progress and the pleasure of practicing collectively.
