Children in an aerial silks class

A circus playground built for kids

Our kids classes introduce young students (typically ages 5–14) to the joyful world of aerial arts. Through silks, lyra hoop and aerial yoga hammocks, kids build coordination, strength, body awareness and — most importantly — confidence. Classes are taught by experienced, kid-loving instructors in a small-group, safety-first environment.

Safety first

Why parents trust us

From rigging inspections to background-checked coaches, every detail is designed so you feel confident dropping off your child.

Certified instructors

Our youth coaches are trained in aerial safety, spotting techniques and age-appropriate progressions before they ever lead a kids class.

Inspected rigging

All aerial points, hardware and apparatus are inspected regularly and loaded well within manufacturer safety limits.

Small student limits

Kids classes are capped at 8 students or fewer, so every child gets hands-on coaching and personal spotting.

Background checks

Every instructor and staff member who works with minors has passed a background check. Safety and trust come first.

Crash mats & protocols

Thick crash mats, supervised landing zones and clear safety rules keep classes predictable and protected from start to finish.

Family environment

We run a welcoming, judgment-free studio where kids build confidence, make friends and feel safe to try new things.

For parents and guardians

Kids Safety & Policies

Your safety is the foundation of every class, party and camp we run. If you do not see your question here, ask us directly — we are happy to talk through our protocols.

Yes. Every instructor who works with kids or adults completes a background check before teaching at the studio. We also require ongoing training in spotting, progressions and emergency protocols.
