Aerial Circus

Aerial circus classes take place in La Palestra, a brand new functional studio that has a 20-ft ceiling fitted with anchoring heads for the use of silks, hammocks, swings, straps, ropes and more.

Try your hand in aerial circus training – it is excellent for strength and flexibility. We offer quality classes taught by professionals in the following disciplines: silk, smooth rope, hammock, trapeze, hoop and straps. We offer four sessions per year and participants are required to register for a session in a specific time slot as there is a progression of content. We have beginner and intermediate groups. To register in the intermediate class, you must have already attended aerial circus classes at the MAA or elsewhere.

Each class includes specific strengthening exercises while learning increasingly complex figures and sequences. Participants learn the basics on all the different apparatuses but can later choose the disciplines they prefer.
