Kids Program
Our Kids Circus Program helps kids from ages 6 to 11 with building physical strength and flexibility, while also allowing them to explore their individual creativity in a space and inclusive space. Our curriculum is structured with each student's specific movement level in mind and our instructors are experts at meeting students where their capabilities are.
Kids Aerial level 1 - Students new to aerial and who have never done aerial before will learn basic skills like sitting and standing in the apparatuses. They will focus on building strength for beginner level aerial dance routines.
Kids Aerial level 2 - Students who have been training in aerial arts for a while and are ready to push themselves to learn more intricate skills and routines. We expect students to have basic understanding of how to mount, dismount, and hold themselves confidently in each apparatus in the air.
Performance Opportunities - If your child loves to take the stage, we have several dates planned for your kid to show off their hard work and perform for an audience!
Save these dates for our planned Kids Performances:
Saturday, April 12 - Kids ARTWalk
Saturday, August 9 - Kids ARTWalk
Saturday, October 11 - Halloween Circus Show
November (tbd) - Studio Fundraiser
What to expect
Warm-up
Class begins with dynamic warmup. Dynamic sport specific warms are crucial for injury prevention and student's movement longevity.
Conditioning
Conditioning exercises on our circus apparatus (aerial hoop, aerial hammock and silks) will allow students to build the necessary strength and stamina to accomplish tricks and routines.
Skills & Technique
Students will learn "tricks of the day" or sequences. Tricks and sequences are created with movement progression, meaning each new trick or skill learned will build onto the next one and help create a cohesive routine and better understanding of the trick.
Aerial level 1 will learn intro & beginner level moves.
Aerial level 2 will learn beginner+ & intermediate level moves
Cool-down
Injury prevention is our top priority and only when the body is warm do, we then focus on flexibility training. Our cool-downs consist of stretching our bodies that received the most work in class as well as additional flexibility stretches to help students reach their bendy goals.
Safety & Protocols
Safety, injury prevention, and safe learning environment is our top priority
