Secret Circus

Great acrobatic training school with a great variety of classes and times to attend them with very knowledgeable positive teachers helping to further your abilities! Something for everyone at any age and any ability, , so come and try a class or more. Great kind friendly community of clientele all very supporting and helpful with a whole lotta positivity always!

The best circus school in Philly not only because of the staff but also the students. Having attended various circus schools and trained with a range of instructors, I can say with confidence that Secret Circus has built the most welcoming and close knit community I've found in any gym or studio setting. The people who train here are kind and low key, I've never experienced the drama or cliques I've seen at other dance and circus arts studios. The teachers are the most well equipped instructors I've ever met, Secret Circus is very selective in who they have teach both as regular instructors and workshop hosts. They are incredibly accommodating to people of all shapes, sizes, identities, and abilities. I've never been anywhere else that I felt as safe to be myself and advocate for my training needs. As someone with a disability and as a performer in general, there's nowhere else I'd rather train.

The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and really help you understand what wraps do unlike any other place I’ve been. The students are so supportive of each other and I feel very safe. The studio is in a very cool building industrial buildings and although I was definitely intimidated to walk in because I couldn’t see in- it was very magical once I walked into the bright studio. The owner has always answered my email questions right away and has taken extra time to explain things to me that I really appreciate. I highly recommend trying it out here. I saw a huge difference in coaching experience with every coach I’ve taken class from at Secret compared to other places I’ve been in the city.

I only just started taking the beginner class (Laurie's) here at the beginning of the month and I absolutely love it! I am an absolute beginner and I feel safe! High ceilings and mats! This school accommodates all levels! All the coaches I have met so far (Laurie and Jackie) are so nice and patient! Everyone cheers each other on! Looking forward to learning, growing, and having fun! Thanks Niff for creating this space! 🎪💕

Secret Circus is an amazing place to learn, train and grow in all things aerial arts. The coaches are patient, compassionate and extremely helpful in working with you and what's best for your body. Classes are designed to challenge you and can be modified if necessary - which I so appreciate! I've discovered so much about myself training here and knowing that "today is a circus class day" always brings a smile to my face. Join us, it will be good for you!
