Detroit Flyhouse Circus School

Taking aerial classes at the Detroit Flyhouse is one of the best decisions I have ever made. My daughters and I take it together. What a wonderful experience! Truly a community of artists who are committed to their craft. Every class is an adventure. Fun and exciting. Challenging. Encouraging and supportive. Excellent instruction and curriculum. And always lots of laughter. I adore every minute. « less

I signed up for an 8-week aerials course at Detroit Flyhouse, as a new student. My first class left an amazing impression, the studio and staff were lively and fun! My instructor communicated all curriculum very clearly, and kept things positive. Pumped to go back!

I have been taking classes at the Detroit Flyhouse for 2.5 years. This is a great place to not only improve your strength/flexibility but to improve self-confidence and challenge yourself to do things you never thought you could do. I have never been a "performer," but taking lyra choreography classes has given me the confidence to perform in 2 student/teacher showcases, and now I absolutely love it! The Flyhouse staff is always encouraging, positive, and helpful!

My wife and I have been taking classes here for years - aerial, acro, and others. It is an amazing place to learn how to do amazing things.Instructors are all professional performers. Safety is a huge priority, which can sometimes slow the class down when compared to other places, but then again after years of classes, no injuries, and when hanging 10' off the ground, safety is important. Classes sell out very quickly. Drop-ins for classes are often available and highly recommended to get a sense of what's to come before committing for a full series. Private lessons are also a great way to get some experience or build on what you're learning in class.Aerial (silks, trapeze, lyra, etc.) will be painful the first few times you do it! Just like any other intensive activity you try out, it requires body adjustment and you're going to have bruises, aches, and pains in unfamiliar places. But also just like any other intensive activity your body will adjust quickly.Tons of fun, and a real feeling of accomplishment, growth, and development as you get stronger, more confident, and more skilled.

1 year ago I had the first contact with these wonderful, warm, car taking and crazy fun people. Non off these teachers judge you on what you are able to do. They don't care if you are able to get into a perfect split, but for sure they celebrate every little success with you. Here you can say stop and no one tells you, that you have to. Becoming able to run away with the circus or just meet new friends and Familie member, during learning to move your body in a cool way. Here you are right.

I've been attending Acro and Aerial Acrobatics courses at the Detroit Flyhouse for over a year now, and I can honestly say that I'm now in the best shape of my life. I feel better and more confident than I ever have before, and I feel more rewarded by life in general due to the positive changes in my outlook that come along with better health,and in turn, physical and mental well-being. Aerial can require nerves of steel, or a simple need to just get your feet off the ground. It is up to you.Experiences may vary, but I went from being a very nonathletic person to one who takes pride in a physical pursuit for its value in exercise and how much it has changed my thinking about what I can and cannot do for the positive. If you are new to acroyoga, aerial training, or other circus arts, this is the best place I can think of to start.

My daughter has competed in gymnastics, trained in Ninja Warrior classes, and has danced but she LOVES this the best. Her dream is to be in the circus, so when she's in Cirque in Vegas one day we will have Flyhouse to thank. Awesome team of instructors who are beyond caring, attentive and professional!

I was a regular at another aerial studio spending >$80/wk and signed up for a workshop over 2 weeks away at Flyhouse to try it out. Literally the day after I signed up, I found out I had to get surgery that could not wait, and the doctor told me not to do physical activities for a period of time that included the date of the workshop. I emailed them that day to cancel the workshop I had just booked, explaining about finding out about the surgery, and received a reply that the workshop was completely non-refundable. Businesses make exceptions to their own policies all the time for specific cases... I would have accepted a class credit, and they could have resold my spot in the workshop. They would have potentially kept me as a regular client and not lost any money or gotten this bad review. I don't support people who do business this way.

Went with a group for a birthday celebration. Our instructor Shawn, was awesome! She had us doing things we never thought we would be able to do! It was so much fun. We will be going back for classes and lessons!
