Youth aerial silks classes.
Fitness. Fun. New Friends. Caring Coaches.
Cirque Indy offers aerial silks classes for children ages 8 to 13. Our aerial youth classes will help your child develop strength and body awareness. Learning circus techniques gives kids a chance to test themselves and grow as they build self confidence and social skills in a non-competitive environment.

Having Aerial Equipment at Home
Your child’s safety comes first.
Cirque Indy does not support students with less than 1 year of experience training at home.
If you think your child is ready to start training independently, please discuss with your child's coach and reach out to us to learn about safe rigging practices and recommendations.
Material that your student learns in class is NOT appropriate to train outside of class unless the instructor gives specific approval.
If you have equipment in your home it must be secured when your student is not using it. Children have strangled on equipment when unattended. Just like a swimming pool, a child does not need to be alone for very long for a serious or even fatal accident to happen. Fabric cannot be hung in basements or bedrooms where observation is not continuous. Friends and siblings should also not have unobserved access to aerial equipment.
If you do decide home training set up is right for you, have a risk assessment plan, understand your liability, know how this addition will affect your homeowners, umbrella insurance, if loss or injury results from this activity will it be an exception to your coverage, and be prepared for significant expense of safe equipment of both a rig and a crash mat,

Aerial Comets is a youth fabric class taught on aerial silks (split ribbon fabric). Students that have leveled up from Aerial Stars will continue their aerial journey on fabric, bringing their skills from sling and applying and building upon them. They will work on form, stamina in the air, and strengthening the muscles required to perform skills off the ground. Comets is an 8-week series and runs concurrently with Stars.
Students are required to take both the A and B Comets series and master all of the Stars material before they will be eligible for the next level.

Register for All Sessions
New Sessions begin Monthly
Below is information about upcoming change in the way we register students for youth classes at Cirque Indy. Our goal is to simplify the process for families while reducing administrative work behind the scenes. This allows us to spend more time focused on what really matters—your kids—and helps us keep our classes affordable.
What’s Changing:
Monthly Enrollment:
We’re shifting to a monthly billing cycle. Tuition will be automatically processed on the 1st of each month, and students will be automatically re-enrolled unless you let us know otherwise.Flexible Withdrawal:
Families may pause or exit the program at any time with just 2 weeks' notice. For example, you can enroll in September, take a break in December, and rejoin later—without having to keep track of session start and end dates.No Tuition Increase:
We calculated monthly tuition by multiplying your current per-class rate by the average number of weeks in a month. The new flat rate is $97.50/month.
Please contact us if you have a question about registration, or to be added to our mailing list at CirqueIndyContact@gmail.com.
FAQs

Our registration software is Wellness Living. Here you will create separate accounts for yourself and your child. Then you will be able to register for the session of your choice. From the Wellness Living schedule, click the “series” tab at the top. From there, find the series for the dates and time you would like to sign up for and enroll.
Intro class passes can only be used to attend an Intro/Taster Class, not a series.

Please dress your child in long pants, capri pants, or substantial tights. T-shirts or Leotards are both acceptable! Clothing should be comfortable to move in, but should not be too loose where it can get caught on the apparatus.
Also, remember to bring a water bottle for your child. We do have a water fountain so re-fillable bottles are a great idea!

If your child misses class there are no make ups, so it’s important to attend as many as you can! Instructors will attempt to bring students who miss up to speed in the following class.
