Not every teen is a soccer kid. Some would rather hang upside down 20 feet in the air. 🤸‍♀️🎪 At Kinetic Arts Center, teens build strength, flexibility, confidence, and friendships while learning skills you definitely won't find in your average after-school program. From aerial silks and trapeze to discovering what their bodies are capable of, circus gives teens a place to challenge themselves, get creative, and find their people.

Join coach mike kitchell on November 15th for SOFT ACROBATICS FOR HANDBALANCERS. Save $20 when you enroll by 10/31! Sign up link in bio.

Soft Acrobatics is a method for shifting weight into and out of the floor with flow and ease. This workshop is for those who are comfortable with handstands and looking for new ways into and out of that stack! We will explore dynamic entrances and exits from your handstand, combining these pathways with transitional moments that will let you move with continuity and flow across the floor! We will look at dynamic inversions and cartwheel variations that let you enter your handstand with the element of surprise, alongside some roll-based and arching exit variations. If you love to be upside down but are looking for more dynamic ways to inhabit space, this workshop is for you!

Circus class is serious business. There’s strength to build, skills to learn, and apparently some very important pre-somersault rituals to perform. 😂

At Kinetic Arts Center, kids work hard, get stronger, and have plenty of room to be their wonderfully silly selves. 🎪 Try a drop-in class today!

“I do hard things.” 💪 The challenge? Climb all the way to the top without using your feet. The reward? $20! 💸
At Kinetic Arts Center, students learn to give their best effort, especially when something feels difficult. They discover that doing hard things isn't about getting it right the first time. It's about showing up, trying again, and seeing what they're capable of.

They practiced trapeze, aerial silks, coordination, and strength. They also became crabs, drove kid-powered cars, opened a taco shop, transformed into coccoons, and tried to scare their teachers. 😂
At Kinetic Arts Center, kids get to build real skills while doing something equally important: playing.
Drop in classes are open now! Call our front desk for more information.

Roll With It: C-Shaping & Rolling Technique - 10:30am-12:30pm

Learn the fundamentals of C-shaping and how to use it to roll in the air. We’ll work on finding and maintaining the C-shape, with a focus on rolling both up and down. We’ll explore skills such as Flag Olé and Drippy Stars, and use a hammock or knot as a tool for learning and practicing the movement. You’ll also learn how to spot each other and work together.

Beat & Switch: Dynamic Transitions & Sequences - 1:30-3:30pm

Ready to link your beats into smooth, fluid dynamic sequences? This workshop is for those with a solid foundation who want to connect multiple skills into satisfying, intentional flow. We’ll play with dynamic transitions using C-shapes, pop-throughs, and catch-and-release elements, exploring how timing, coordination, and momentum can turn individual skills into connected movement.Expect to focus on finding pathways between skills and using momentum to make your movement feel lighter and more effortless.

Aerialists like puzzles with higher stakes. 😏 Kinetic Arts Center hosted an all-day fabric jam session last weekend! We had 16 people show up, and the best part was a community that created a safe container to try new things. We spent the day experimenting, unlocking new skills, and sharing ideas. One person would be working through a puzzle and someone else would go, “Oh! That reminds me of this other thing…” — and suddenly everyone was inspired. If you're looking for an aerial community, give us a follow & if you are visiting the Bay Area, or live here, come train with us at
