“This group of talented, strong, dedicated performers never cease to amaze me. I am humbled and inspired! My peanut’s smile just melts my heart. She loves them all! And as always so thankful for their coaches who give so much to them. Love love love love love!” — Jessica; Lindsey’s mom
There was an AUDIBLE gasp…
50 people watched their 7 year olds climb 15 feet into the air.
I thought they were going to pass out.
And I know it sounds crazy.
But if you know one thing about us, then I want it to be this…
We. Keep. Our. Kids. Safe.
It sounds counter-intuitive to think of 15 feet in the air as “safe”, doesn’t it?
However, for the skills these particular kids were about to perform, HIGHER = SAFER.
They weren’t in danger of falling out of the silks. They were actually in what we call a “locked” move, so they couldn’t fall out if they tried.
However, if they got “stuck”, they needed the vertical room to get themselves out of the move. And there were 36” crash mats under them.
And the coaches were a foot away and watching every move the kids did, to make sure everything was executed properly.
(To be honest, if the kids couldn’t execute every move perfectly, they never would have been performing the skill.)
Just look at how happy and care-free our students are…
Every week, we get messages from our parents, saying things like:
“She came home with new skills daily and only had great things to say about her coaches who kept her safe while teaching her to hang and swing in the air!” — Stacey; Hannah’s mom
“She is learning so much about self control and the importance of following instructions carefully! Yet she thinks it’s the most awesome thing EVER!” — Jessica; Gracie’s mom
They were reluctant about sending their kids to a circus gym. It gives us a LOT of pleasure to say “We told you so!”.
No offense, but we can’t wait to add your name to our “We told you so” list! 😉
