Flying Trapeze
Fly through the air with the greatest of ease... just like you see in the circus. During the first class, participants learn the basics. You'll hang by your knees on a stationary bar, then proceed up the ladder to the flying trapeze! After practicing a knee hang position for execution and timing, you may even be ready by the end of the class to attempt a catch with our catcher... and this is just the beginning!

Aerial Arts
Static Trapeze
Manipulate your body on and around a stationary bar, hung at various heights. You'll learn positions and tricks, and begin building routines on the trapeze. The class emphasizes strength, conditioning and flexibility. More advanced students will focus on form, style and choreography.
Rope/Corde Lisse
Learn to entangle yourself around a rope while executing various positions, wraps and drops.
Tissue
Climbing, wrapping and dropping on an aerial silk - skills are similar to those used on a rope but even more challenging.
Swinging Trapeze (by private instruction)
Swinging trapeze combines static trapeze positions with the dynamics of a swing. There is no net, but everyone wears a safety harness.

Just for Kids
Children's classes are designed to emphasize self-confidence, while building coordination and physical skills.
Kids' Circus Classes
This year, we will be offering classes in 8 week sessions. There will be four sessions between September and the end of May. Our first Wednesday session will begin on September 8 and the first Saturday session will begin on September 11. Children will register for a spot in a specific class, it will be their spot for 8 consecutive weeks, and on the 8th week of each session there will be a small performance, which will provide an opportunity for the children to showcase what they have learned during the past 8 weeks.
We welcome children ages 3-12 in our Saturday morning classes, and 6-11 year olds on Wednesdays from 4p-5p. The session dates coincide so the Wednesday students can be part of the student showcases on the last Saturday of each session. The dates of our sessions are listed below.
