There will be class sessions running month to month.

Please be registered at least a week prior to your class to make sure you will be able to participate in the session. Current students’ class spots will be held from month to month. Please let us know if you do not plan to continue classes so we can open that spot for other students. Just a reminder that to have a make-up class you must give us at least 24 hours notice that you will be missing class so that we may contact students on the waitlists to try to fill that spot. If you cannot attend regularly, consider signing up as a drop-in student. When classes are booked full, regular students from our monthly workshops will be contacted first for drop ins spots and new weekly class openings prior to openings being publicly announced. 

contortionIn-Person Training Options :

If you don’t see a class option on our calendar, it is most likely available in private lessons. Currently we offer weekly classes in aerial silks, aerial hoop, and trapeze. Those classes are appropriate for teen (13+) & adult students. Wanting to get your kids interested in alternative forms of fitness? Circus arts are great for kids who don’t fit into the traditional sports mold to find a way to stay active, have fun, build confidence, and socialize with other kids. We offer mixed circus arts classes (carny class) for level 2 kids ages 6-12. For beginner kid/teen students 30-45 minute private lessons are suggested to really get the basics down. 

Monthly WorkShops:

*Every second Wednesday of the month we will be hosting a discounted aerial silks class for  queer,trans folks, and allys. This workshop hopes to make aerial more accessible to more people.

Trans, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming and queer folks are invited to attend an introductory aerial silks class! Class will be taught by Monroe Hanson, a nonbinary athlete and local trans activist with Trans Lawrence Coalition. Monroe is a new instructor and is eager to give back to their community by creating space that removes barriers to access for trans people and allows people to engage with both the art and the vulnerability of aerial silks.
This class can accommodate six people, beginners only, and is specifically trans-inclusive. We want everyone who loves – or wants to love – the physicality of exercise and the challenge of learning new kinds of movement to feel comfortable in this space.
Please ask if you have any questions that your instructors can answer.
*Every first and third Wednesday of the month we will be hosting workshop wednesday! This will be a rotating series of workshops with circus fun we can’t fit into the weekly schedule. Check our calendar page for specifics and feel free to request a workshop you would love to see.
