FAMILY VIEWING
All of The Rising’s classes are conducted in a closed class setting. Please refer to the class descriptions below to see which days are designated as Family Viewing Days.
Because Aerial Arts is considered a high-risk activity, we strive to maintain a focused, distraction-free environment during class. Guests are warmly invited to observe on our scheduled viewing days.
Please note that our aerial studios do not have designated spectator areas. Parents and family members are welcome to wait in our lobby if they prefer to remain in the building during class times.

Explore life under the Big Top! Circus Starter is your child's first step in our Kids CIicus Programming. Learn foundational aerial skills on silk, hoop, hammock & trapeze. Plus ground circus skills in a safe and supportive environment. Circus improves strength, flexibility, coordination, balance, and is a non-competitive, physically active and creative pursuit. If your child needs more time in Circus Starter before moving the Lion Tamers or Ring Masters program parents will receive an email with our class recommendation when the next session launches. On average, it takes 1-2 sessions for a child to pass through Circus Starter. Because aerial circus is a higher risk activity it's important they feel confident and comfortable with their circus foundations before moving into a higher level. ​Prerequisites: none -Family viewing day on first & last class of session
