Does your child dream of running away to join the circus? This is the class for them! Cirque Kids is an interactive play based class for children ages 7-10 that uses circus themed games and activities to get kids moving and learning body and spatial awareness skills. The class time will be divided between ground based skills (basic acro, utilizing props such as spinning plates, juggling, flower sticks, hula hoops, etc.) and time on the aerial apparatus (hammock, trapeze, silks, and hoop).   Pre-requisites: Ages 7-10. No experience required. This is a split class that is appropriate for students who are taking Cirque Kids for the first time, or for those kids who have been cleared to move up to higher level skills in our Cirque Kids 2 program. Students will recieve instruction tailored to their current skill level.   Please note, there will be apparatus sharing in this class.

Beginner Silks: Beginner Aerial Silks is the next step in a students journey after Intro to Aerials if they decide to join the Aerial Silks stream of curriculum. Students will learn to tie footlocks, climb the silks, and begin to work on unsupported inverts and hipkeys as appropriate. Students will transfer some of their hammock poses to the footlock, while expanding their vocabulary substantially to include skills on double skills footlocks, single silks footlocks, inverted skills, and some fun extras! The idea of fabric theory is introduced and students will learn body flags and many variations. All students are unique and progress at their own pace, generally students should expect to spend 4-8 months minimum in the Beginner Silks level. Please note, there will be apparatus sharing in this class.

This is a split level class and is appropriate for students who are in Beginner Pole or Intermediate   Beginner Pole: In Beginner Pole we introduce progressively more intricate and strength intensive spins and holds on the poles. As you build your strength we will prepare you to do basic inversions and climbing the pole along with even more dance, transition and floor moves to round out your pole repertoire. Just a few of the featured moves in this class will be Chair Spin, Diamond Spin, Push-pull Holds, Windmill, Climb and Sit, Basic Inversion, Snake Dismount.   Intermediate Pole: Taking it to the next level, students will evolve their inverted repertoire to include leg hangs, and our namesake move, the Butterfly. You'll learn spins that will make you feel like you're flying around the pole (Spiral, Twister, Cobra to name a few) and you'll even learn to lay back from a sitting position and hold on with just your thighs.  

New to the world of Aerial Arts? This is the place to start. The 8-week Intro to Aerial Arts class is a mandatory prerequisite for any Beginner level aerials class. We will focus on building strength and learning the fundamentals of Aerial Hammock, Silks, Trapeze, and Hoop. With an emphasis on technique and safety, this class will introduce you to basic positions, moves, climbs, and mounts for each apparatus. It is a great way to try both fabric and bar apparatuses before choosing which to focus on. Classes will switch between apparatuses from week to week. Every ability is welcome. No previous aerial experience required.   Please note, there will be apparatus sharing in this class.
