Circus Starter is your child's first step in our Kids Programming.
Class meets once/week.
Learn foundational skills on aerial silk, aerial hoop, trapeze, rope, and ground circus skills in a safe and supportive environment.
Circus improves strength, flexibility, coordination, balance, and is a non-competitive, physically active and creative pursuit.
Near the end of the session you will receive an email with your child's class level recommendation for the following session. On average, it takes 1-2 sessions for a child to pass through Circus Starter. Because aerial circus is a higher risk activity it's important they feel confident and comfortable with their circus foundations before moving into a higher level.
Prerequisites: none
