New Students with Experience

For students new to Moody Street Circus - with past or current circus arts experience - a consultation and private lesson is required.

We hope students seek out coaching at MSC because there is something in our practice, space or teaching that inspires them to reflect on the ways they move through the air. There is not one coach for every aerialist! Everyone has different goals, interests and focuses when practicing circus arts.

It is important to us that our students enjoy working on the little details: musicality, technique, dance, engagement and so much more learned through both practice, mindfulness and coach feedback. We focus on movements and pathways that build body awareness and flow - so that new and familiar skills and seamlessly connect with beautiful and cool transitions!

We encourage you to read about our family studio and teaching philosophy.

  • We are so lucky to be able to organize our classes based on our students’ interests and strengths. Because of this it is difficult to define class “levels.”

    All workshops are listed with pre-requisites skills/strength requirements expected of registered students which relate to the content that will be covered in class material.

    We currently offer regular classes for silks, sling, dance trapeze and lyra and occasional pop up workshops on other apparatuses.

    All MSC aerial arts students are expected to meet our foundational strength requirements found HERE.

  • PRICING:

    MSC aerial arts classes range from $35-50 depending on class length, apparatus and topic. Special topic workshops may be longer and cost more.

    REGISTRATION:

    All classes are offered as “one-off” registrations unless listed as a session or choreography project.

Classes are kept very small and levels based on our current student base as we are a family business - mother and daughter run. A majority of our time coaching is spent on focused private training for our dedicated and lovely students!

We do our best to make the likelihood of appropriate group offerings clarified in a phone/ email consult as we do not offer classes for every level.

Our goal in integrating new students is to make sure MSC practice expectations/ values are understood and appreciated, and to enjoy the process of learning new skills, techniques, or choreographies. It is very important to us that these things occur safely and happily - based both on students strength and ability to dig past the physical movement of what we are working on and to make new connections, discoveries and develop personal artistry!
