Where Circus Dreams Take Flight
Florida Aerial Dance & Circus Arts is an afterschool circus program for youth ages 7–18. With recreational classes, Competition Teams, and a Youth Performing Troupe — we've spent a decade building joy, strength, and confidence in thousands of young performers.
Aerial Silks
Aerial silks is one of the most captivating ways for young athletes to build full-body strength, flexibility, and grace — all while soaring above the ground. As students climb, wrap, and flow through the fabric, they develop core power, coordination, and body awareness without even realizing they're working out. Beyond the physical, silks builds something deeper: the courage to try, the grit to keep climbing, and the confidence to perform.
Lyra or Aerial Hoop
The aerial hoop, or lyra, is where artistry and athleticism meet. Suspended in the air, students learn to move with intention — spinning, balancing, and striking poses that demand both strength and elegance. Lyra builds powerful shoulders, a strong core, and incredible body control, while giving young performers a breathtaking way to express themselves. It's circus arts at its most beautiful.
Trapeze & More!
From the classic flying trapeze to the mesmerizing aerial sphere and geometric cube, metal apparatus training is where tradition meets innovation. These disciplines are rooted in centuries of circus history — building the kind of raw strength, fearless coordination, and spatial awareness that no gym can replicate. Training on traditional apparatus gives young performers a foundation that transfers across every discipline: the trapeze teaches timing and trust, the static trapeze demands control and line, and the sphere and cube challenge students to think creatively about movement in three dimensions. At Florida Aerial Dance & Circus Arts, we honor the art forms that built the circus world — and we push our students to reimagine what's possible.
From First Climb to Center Stage
As the years pass the students fly more and more confident gracing stages, festivals and events across South Florida.
