Stretch and strengthen your body, mind, and community

From the inside out—and the upside down!

As the premier Raleigh circus and performing arts training community, we are here to encourage, push, lift, and celebrate you.

Cirque de Vol picks up where traditional gyms and studios drop off, helping you build strength and stamina alongside friendships—and stretch muscles as much as comfort zones.

We are happy to be the home away from home for some of Raleigh’s most creative performers, from established troupes to the dancer inside each of us.

“It is a workout, without feeling like a workout - I've built strength and flexibility, all while having fun!”

Why Aerial Silks + Circus Arts?

Suspend your body while grounding your mind.

There are so many benefits to exercising in the air—whether you’re new to circus arts or have experience with dance or gymnastics. Beyond building muscles you never knew you had, aerial work focuses your busy brain and centers your body in a way running, lifting, and cycling just…can’t. It’s stamina-building science and an art form that will help you stay present with grace, resilience, agility, and confidence—whether you are spinning 10 feet off the ground or juggling life beyond the studio.

Aerial & Circus Arts and Yoga offer a host of holistic benefits!

Come hang with us!
