New Instructor Alert!
Ashley Browning
__________________________________
Ashley began her aerial training in 2021 at Night Owl Circus Arts and is excited to start teaching where creativity, curiosity, and a little bit of magic meet. She loves helping students build strength, confidence, and joy through intentional movement on the ground and in the air! In 2023, she had the privilege to continue training at NOCA through the duration of her pregnancy with her daughter until 7 months gestation and has a unique perspective as an aerialist with a rapidly changing body. She believes that circus arts are meant for anyone who desires to discover the magic within themselves at this welcoming studio.

Saturday January 3rd - 7:05pm
Twists, Tangles, Some Ropes, and a Bar

This is your invitation to hang out with (guest instructor Zoe!)and explore the space above the bar. This intermediate/advanced trapeze class will focus on integrating ropes and bar-based skills into cohesive sequences. We’ll explore twisting mechanics, tangled wraps, rope-based variations, and creative use of the bar to build a fluid trapeze sequence. This is a class for aerialists who enjoy puzzles, precision, and the satisfying logic of finding your way through twists and tangles—ending exactly where you meant to.

Come to Everything Back Balance this Sunday, December 7th, 4:15-5:15pm with circus artist @

Get more comfortable and confident in your back balance! We will start with a full body warm up with emphasis on abs, upper back mobility, and glute engagement. We will explore different entries and exits to back balance, various back balance placements, and how to move between placements with engagement and control. Students should be able to hold a hands-free low-back balance for at least 5 seconds. Practice with mid-back balance encouraged but not required
