Youth Circus

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. 

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.

Yes, you can sign up at any time, in the middle of the month or year. Please note that tuition fees will be automatically prorated.

Yes, you may call our front desk to try out a class and pay the $5 trial class rate before committing. Call us at 501-725-4975 to schedule.

Yes, classes for children under 3 years require a parent or guardian to participate with them during the class. This is an excellent opportunity for bonding and fun!

All students should arrive in gym appropriate attire with hair tied back and 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 recitals depending on what class they are enrolled in.

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 info@arcircus.com 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.
