What we teach
Strength, balance and body control, built from the floor up. Whether you're chasing your first handstand or polishing your transitions, these classes make every other discipline easier.
Handstands
Hand balancing from the ground up. Wall drills, strength and mobility work, and focused practice on alignment and control, whether you're finding your first kick-up or refining a freestanding line.
Acrobatics
Take your handstand skills to the floor: cartwheels, bridges, shoulder rolls, walkovers and acro dance, plus the strength and mobility behind them, with progressions for every level.
Contemporary Floorwork
Rolling, sliding, spiraling and flowing in and out of the floor with control. Floorwork is where acrobatics and dance meet, and it's the source of many of the smoothest transitions in circus.
