We love ACA. The kids are very active and the whole hour is movement. The instructors are friendly, welcoming and nice. They explain the moves very well and are patient with the kids as they learn. Everyone has been helpful…

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
Youth students should wear leotards, unitards, under armor style pants and shirts, leggings, or fitness bottoms.
We offer a live stream of classes in our lobby! We also have specific parent observation weeks that are typically every third week of the month, where parents are given a Zoom link into the classroom area to watch and observe. Please ask your child’s teacher to send you photos and videos from class. Older students may bring devices to class to take pictures and videos of what they are learning. When parents are watching or standing in the classroom area, it becomes a distraction and distraction becomes a safety issue when students are upside-down and up high in the air.Â
Exceptions to this rule include very young students who are afraid to enter class on their own for the first time, students who are taking a private lesson outside of busy group class times, or a student’s first day.

A water bottle!
Older students 10+ should bring a bag with water bottle, notebook, pen, hair ties, deodorant, and any other supplies.
No, most classes are done barefoot. We have lockers and cubbies for their shoes. Your child may need jazz shoes for the spring or winter recital.
Long hair must be worn up in a bun, braids or up-do and be out of the face/not hanging in the way while upside-down.
Please email [email protected] or call 501-725-4975 if you have questions about class placement. All students progress at their own rate. Even students with a strong background in dance, gymnastics, cheer, etc should start in the beginner level/level 1 classes so they can learn the circus and aerial vocabulary and have a good foundation. Classes are also based on age for our youth.Â
Yes, we do a student show in the Spring each year where each class will be required to perform. This is a requirement for all youth students as performance is part of the circus experience. Adult students are encouraged to participate but not required.
Yes, we have performance opportunities for all levels and ages throughout the year including Winter Show, Spring Student Show, as well as community events.
Yes, we have a different class schedule for Summer, as well as full Summer camp and intensive schedules in June and July! We highly recommend your child continuing classes in the Summer to keep up with the skills that they have worked so hard towards!
