Hi there!
We're Daniel and Lizzy, circus nomads who have spent our adult lives traveling the world, sharing our passion for circus craft with students and audiences alike. Over the years, we've done a bit of everything—from designing and installing custom rigging solutions to writing, directing, and producing full-length shows. We're best known as flying trapeze coaches, having played a pivotal role in starting numerous trapeze programs and holding leadership positions at prominent professional and recreational circus schools in North America.
As coaches, we've had the privilege of working with artists of all skill levels, and along the way, we've realized that the industry's distinction between “professional” and “recreational” training is not only unnecessary, but often harmful. This separation overlooks the many reasons that motivate people to pursue circus craft and often undermines the dedication of serious amateurs, while creating unrealistic expectations for those aiming for a professional path.

Hear from our students.
Over the years, we've had the pleasure of working with an incredible community of adult circus artists—people who pour their hearts into training not for money, but for the pure joy of the craft. These are individuals who embrace every challenge, celebrate every small victory, and find fulfillment in the connections they build along the way. Yet, we've seen how most schools treat this group as an afterthought, designing programs that cater to a different audience entirely. We believe that's a missed opportunity.
This community hasn't just been a part of our lives—they've been our friends. We've celebrated holidays, birthdays, and many other milestones together, forging deep connections that extend far beyond the training space. We've tirelessly advocated for student needs, only to be let down by businesses that didn't prioritize student experience and growth. After years of disappointment, we're taking matters into our own hands, creating a space where their dedication is honored, and their passion can truly thrive.
We want to create a space where this community is not just welcomed but celebrated—a facility designed with them in mind at every turn. From a layout that encourages community interaction to classes structured to push their limits while keeping the fun alive, every detail will reflect our commitment to this unique community.
