Aerial Arts Classes in Orlando
Aerial arts are our specialty at Orlando Circus School. Whether you dream of climbing the aerial silks or spinning on the lyra (aerial hoop), our aerial arts classes in Orlando build real strength, flexibility, and confidence, one class at a time. No experience needed, and every level is welcome, from first-timers to performers. Train just minutes from Universal Studios in a supportive studio that’s been teaching aerial in Orlando since 2008.
The Aerial Arts We Teach
Aerial arts is really a family of disciplines, each one uses a different apparatus, and each one feels completely different in your hands. At Orlando Circus School you can train the two most-loved under one roof: aerial silks and lyra (also called the aerial hoop). Not sure which is for you? Most students start with one, fall for it, and end up trying both. Pick where you want to begin, we’ll take it from there.
Aerial Silks
wo lengths of soft, strong fabric become your playground. On the silks you’ll learn to climb, wrap, pose, and, when you’re ready, drop with control. It’s equal parts strength, artistry, and adrenaline, and it’s beginner-friendly from day one.
Aerial Hoop
The lyra is a steel hoop suspended in the air, where balance meets grace. You’ll learn to sit, spin, pose, and flow through shapes that look impossible and feel amazing, perfect if you love the idea of aerial with a solid bar to hold.

Aerial Classes for Every Level
You don’t need a background in dance, gymnastics, or fitness to start, you just need to show up. Every aerial class in Orlando begins with the fundamentals: safe technique, foundational holds, climbs, and the body awareness that makes everything else possible. As you get stronger, your coach layers in inversions, transitions, drops, and full sequences, so there’s always a next challenge waiting.
Because our coaches specialize in first-timers, beginners never feel lost, and because we teach all the way up to performance level, experienced aerialists keep climbing too. Wherever you are today, there’s a class that meets you there and takes you higher.
Aerial Arts are a Full-Body Workout
Here’s the secret every aerialist knows: this is one of the most fun ways to get seriously strong. A single class blends flexibility, grace, and real core and upper-body conditioning, the kind of workout that leaves you sore in the best way and never feels like the gym.
Students come for the thrill and stay for what it does to their bodies: lean strength, better posture, improved mobility, and a level of body control most workouts can’t touch. If you’ve been looking for aerial fitness in Orlando that actually holds your attention, this is it, you’ll be too busy learning to notice you’re training.
Aerial Classes for Kids & Adults
Aerial arts truly are for every age. For kids, the silks and hoop build focus, coordination, and a kind of confidence that follows them off the apparatus and into everything else, all in a safe, encouraging space with coaches who make first tries feel like wins.
For adults, aerial is permission to play. Whether you’re chasing a new challenge, a stronger body, or just something more exciting than another treadmill, our adult aerial classes welcome you exactly as you are, no experience, no gym background, no problem. Come find out what your body can do.

“This was an AMAZING experience !!!! The team at the Orlando circus school was so good at teaching us, and after just the first class we were doing backflips and tricks, even though it was our first time ever doing it. They are really good at working with beginners, so if you’re scared to try it, don’t be! It’s so much fun.”
