No form of circus or aerial art is inherently safe or free of risk. All first-time aerial students are prohibited from climbing past heights deemed acceptable by their instructors, and all aerial students practice with the use of safety mats.
We highly encourage students and their parents or guardians to thoroughly read through our safety waiver and decide for themselves the level of risk they're willing to accept. All Circus Vision instructors are trained in basic first aid and CPR.
We aren't accepting walk-in students at this time. Please book your classes in advance, so you don't miss out! All aerial classes run on a two-person minimum.
All class purchases are non-refundable but may be transferred to future classes or returned as a class credit in the event of illness or emergency as long as students, parents, or guardians notify cancel via Bookeo at least 24 hours before class.
No-show bookings are not eligible for refunds or class credits.
Please be advised: We take your safety very seriously, so if you are more than 15 mins late to class, you're welcome to stay and watch, but you cannot participate due to missed warm-up time. Our instructors tailor each warm-up to focus on muscle groups and movements students will use in that day's class.
