FAQ
Q: So, are you a performance company or a circus school?
A: The answer is yes. The staff are professional actors and circus performers as well as instructors. You may have seen us perform at area events like the St Louis Renaissance Festival. We also have a circus studio in Maryland Heights where we offer classes in tumbling, acrobatics, trapeze, aerial silks, and many more
Q: Do you mainly have kids in your classes?
A: We have a lot of kids AND adults that take classes with us. Some of them are training to perform professionally, but for a lot of them (adults especially), this is their fun hobby. It keeps them active, challenged and has an element of creativity.
Q: Do you have to be strong to take aerial classes?
A: Of course, it helps, but our Introductory classes start at a truly introductory level and you will build the strength as you go. You will do skills sitting and resting on the knot of the silks to start off with. You learn to orient your body on the apparatus and build the muscles needed to hold yourself. You also get to swing around, which is just fun.
