Your event can be located either indoors or outdoors, provided there is enough safe, usable, and reasonably level space for the Cirque Party equipment. Set up at a full height of 23 ft, our aerial rig has a footprint of 21 x 21 ft, beyond which we would need enough space for additional Cirque Party equipment such as tumbling mats and practice bars. Minimum ceiling/overhead height clearance required is 25 ft.

Fear of heights is totally normal! We customize our aerial instruction to each participant so that everyone feels safe and comfortable while having fun. Whether you're learning tricks just above the ground or high in the air, safety mats will always be underneath you.

We follow the California state COVID guidelines. Additionally, all of our instructors are vaccinated.
