Kids Classes
For over 25 years, Actors Gym’s classes have helped thousands of kids discover they are capable of more than they’ve ever imagined.
The transformation in Safiya over the school year was remarkable . . . This experience of AG isn’t just a class, it’s a life skill my daughter is acquiring. She is learning to be her best self, to have fun, to take risk, and to always stretch to do more.
– Melissa B., Parent

-
In general, students start with and repeat recreational-level classes until they develop a higher level of confidence, strength and proficiency. While a background in dance, gymnastics or other athletic pursuits will be an advantage, circus arts and physical theatre employ our muscle groups in different ways than other activities and it most often takes several sessions for students of all ages to adapt and master skills necessary to move to the advanced level.
Students need to receive instructor permission to take advanced classes and in some cases, advancement is subject to passing a skills test. If you feel ready to advance to an advanced-level class, we encourage you to talk to your instructor, who can assess if you are ready.
-
We recommend wearing clothing you are comfortable moving in, that is not too loose fitting.
Close-toed gym shoes should be worn to Parkour and all Circus Arts classes to use during stilting and unicycling. All other classes require bare feet.
-
Yes! If you register online after the class has started, your tuition will be automatically pro-rated.
-
Unfortunately, we are unable to allow make-ups for missed classes, as it makes it challenging for us to ensure a safe ratio of students to instructors in each class.
-
We operate on a philosophy that using multiple apparatus in conjunction with each other builds the increased strength, confidence, and performance skills critical to help artists achieve a level of competence that allows for the meaningful concentration on a specialized skill or apparatus. Because of that, most of our classes teach multiple apparatus.
Foundational skills remain constant from one apparatus to another. Wraps, climbs, hangs and most baseline tricks can be learned and improved on any apparatus. Until students reach an advanced skill level with sufficient strength and knowledge, the benefits of specializing will be minimal.
-
No, the parking lot at the Noyes Cultural Arts center is easy for students to be dropped off and picked up before and after class.

-
No, parents are not allowed to sit in on their child’s class, unless the class is a parent-participation class.
