Silks/Cirque Conditioning classes introduce students to the circus performing arts. Classes will regularly include strength and flexibility training. Students will get to "fly" using different equipment including silks and straps. Discover the fun and skills involved to put together a circus performance. We are working to get the students in the air every second week until social distancing measures are lifted. This will allow for proper disinfecting of the equipment.
