A Beginner’s Guide to Foam Rolling

Hello everyone and happy Sunday! I’d like to keep this rehab and recovery train going and talk about foam rolling! Foam rollers offer many of the same benefits of a sports massage, but the great thing about it is that you can do it in the comfort of your own home, and without the big […]

Ice vs Heat: Which is Better for Your Injury?

Hello everyone and happy Sunday! Last week, I talked about recovery, and how important it is to keep our bodies working. One of the techniques I mentioned is therapeutic icing and heating. Now, here is a question I get ALL THE TIME from students and parents: Should I use ice or heat for an injury? […]

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Hello everyone and happy Sunday! Today, I want to talk about the ABUSE we put our bodies through. Circus is not easy, by any means! We are constantly sore or hurting from scrapes, cuts, or burns, and let’s not forget about injuries! I currently have a pinky injury from Cyr wheel. I would attach a […]

Independence Day Festivities!

Hello everyone and happy Sunday! If you remember correctly, you know that I’ve fairly recently moved to Georgia. I’ve been in town since October and I don’t really know too much about what goes on. With Independence Day coming up, I figured it would be nice to actually go out and watch some fireworks, as […]

Food Trucks!

Hello everyone and happy Sunday! This past week my grandmother turned 76 years old! She was a huge part of my life when I was growing up and I absolutely love her, so of course I had to leave town to celebrate with her!  I wanted to take her to dinner, but we couldn’t decide […]

Akrosphere Circus & Aerial Arts

In conversation with someone recently, he described circus as:

“Even though circus is cool and all, it doesn’t really benefit anyone”.

WOW!  Talk about antiquated thinking!

Now, I know where he’s coming from. However, this thinking is just NOT the case..

At this time, it has been proven that doing circus and aerial arts…

  • Improves Hand-Eye Coordination, Balance, Muscular Endurance, and Cardio-Vascular Fitness,
  • Boosts self-esteem and self confidence,
  • Is athletic yet non-competitive, 
  • Builds social and team skills for other activities in life, 
  • Increases ability for high-quality concentration,
  • Is high-energy FUN!  

Plus, research shows that children who engage in activities like aerial arts tend to do better in school!

That’s why we created our approach:

“Empowerment through Circus and Aerial Arts Training”

Sounds fancy, dunnit?

Ultimately, we are desperately passionate about all things circus AND the power of empowering children to be their best selves in all aspects of life.

Our team knows a LOT about all aspects of kids.  From early and mid childhood education to circus as therapy for autistic children to the kinesiology and muscular growth habits of kids through adults to safe training schedules for professional athletes.  (Yup…our coaching team has degrees in all that stuff and much more!)

Also, we all were/are professional circus performers and elite-level circus coaches!  (Plus a few of us are parents ourselves!)

Now we’ve ‘teamed up’ to apply all of that stuff to coaching our students and helping them to be their best selves…all through the fun of learning the aerial arts!

This is super cool for a few reasons.  You will watch your child:

  • Get excited about exercise.
  • Super-charge their own self esteem.
  • Release their best artistic and creative self.  
  • Connect with exciting new friends as unique and creative as they are.
  • Fly through the air in a safe and nurturing environment.
  • BONUS:  Parents can rest easy, knowing their kids are in the best hands possible.

^^^ If all of this sounds like it’s your bag, then you’re in the right place and you’re gonna love us.
