Plan Ahead

  • Personal belongings can be brought inside the room. Please bring clean, non-marking shoes to wear in the gymnasium or go in sock feet. Ear buds or headphones if you wish to listen to music.

  • Do not bring anything scented (body products, clothing with residue from scented laundry products or smoke), or any props that have been burned or fuel-soaked (even with covers).

  • We provide hoops, juggling balls and clubs, poi, diabolo and more.

  • Our space will have bright overhead lighting and natural light through large windows. In the winter months, these windows function as large mirrors if you want to watch your technique in the "mirror".

  • Second floor washrooms are binary with "gender diverse people welcome" signage, and a single-user washroom is available between the binary washrooms,

  • Second floor is accessed by stairs or elevator.
