MSA & Circus Arts offers thoughtfully structured youth circus arts classes in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood for kids drawn to gymnastics, tumbling, cheer, dance, theater—or simply climbing, flipping, balancing, and discovering what their bodies can do.

Developed by professional circus artists and trainers, our program is shaped by generations of experience and European training standards. Students build strength, coordination, confidence, and real skills in a welcoming, non-competitive environment.

​

Beginners start with strong foundations, while returning students progress through a clear level-based program. Training may include aerial silks and lyra, sports acrobatics, tumbling, trampoline, handstands, flexibility, and performance—giving students room to be challenged, explore creatively, and discover where their interests can take them.

​

Classes are offered in 7–11 week sessions and typically meet once per week. Select summer classes may also be available as drop-ins.​​​

Multi-class enrollment and sibling discounts available.
