Not every studio teaches circus arts the same way - and it is important to find a space and coach that speaks to your circus goals and practice.

We believe that no matter what your “level” in aerial work — no matter where you are on your aerial journey — MSC students must be interested in building strength (both in and out of class), be open to repeating/re-learning important foundational skills to connect deeper into the wraps, movement and potential for dance, be willing to slow down in all practice and integrate instructor feedback, and be interested in paying attention to the details and growing their body awareness in the air.

We want students interested in understanding the technical mechanics behind skills and developing a quality movement style that they want to present in performance and/or integrate into their general circus practice. We encourage excellent technique and elegant presentation and transitions. Students should select a class that will be both physically and emotionally rewarding -- not too difficult that you are not able to focus on the fun smaller details that truly make the difference in skill/combination execution.

Not only will these things feed the grace and strength of your aerial work, but all of the above concepts are priorities for SAFE practice.
