"Madison Circus Space is really a unique place! \n\nI have taken two 5-week sessions of Introduction to Aerial Silks, and am planning to continue because the classes are so fun and are an excellent workout as well as a great way to break me out of the usual. I had Jess as an instructor and she is an amazing teacher -- She knows how to break up difficult steps and how to encourage everyone to try things that may feel challenging without being pushy at all. She facilitates such a positive atmosphere in the class that as a student I felt really good when she and the other students would clap and encourage each other. The class has a great progression and doesn't move too fast or slow. I am so excited to continue working on my technique!\n\nI have also attended a couple circus shows at Madison Circus Space. They are nothing short of impressive (especially after you've tried a particular art and you realize JUST how challenging it is!). The tickets are usually very affordable and sometimes baked goods are sold and goodies are given away. Again, the atmosphere feels super happy and encouraging of everyone. \n\nTo be a member, you have to be in classes for a couple years and pass a test, but I definitely recommend reaching out to see if there is a class you would like to try. You can attend one class to try before committing to a full session, which is a great idea because these acts are very new to most of us!"^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ . "4"^^ .
