Description:

Sitka Cirque is looking to hire an aerial instructor to teach aerial silks, lyra, and trapeze to elementary aged kids, teens, and adults. Want to get away from the heat and bustle of the city for a year or two? Escape to the temperate rainforests of Southeast Alaska and come fly with us!
Sitka is a small community with around 9,000 residents located on Baranof island. Sitka Cirque has become one of the most popular organizations in our small town since we started offering classes seven years ago. We have over 150 students and give them one or two chances to perform each year. More advanced students and instructors are given a number of opportunities to showcase their skills in Sitka, as well as in other communities. Our program has continued to grow, even throughout the pandemic and we are looking for an additional instructor who can work with beginner, intermediate, and advanced students.
Do you enjoy the outdoors? Sitka is a beautiful place, nestled between the ocean and the mountains. Living here provides easy access to hiking, kayaking, camping, boating, hunting, fishing and more. When the weather permits, we set up our outdoor rig by the ocean, on mountain tops, or downtown. We use these opportunities for small shows, photo shoots, or just for fun! While it does rain a lot here (rainforest life), many of us find the proximity to nature worth getting our hair wet. If you want to start your day in a kayak with a thermos of coffee, paddling around pristine, untouched nature, Sitka might be the place for you!
