Welcome to Aerial Space, where we think everyone should be able to run away and join the circus...if only for an hour!

 Asheville's Original Circus Center

As the first circus arts studio in North Carolina, our instructors are some of the most knowledgeable and experienced teachers in the south. Since 2009, Aerial Space has provided the mountain community with group classes and private lessons in Silks, Trapeze, Lyra, Sling, Contortion, Hand Balancing, Slacklining, and much more!

Come “hang” with us. 

Have you always wanted to hang from a trapeze, climb silks or spin on an aerial hoop? Are you looking for a fun new workout or family outing? Not sure where to start? Get all your questions answered here!

Safety, smiles, and skills. We believe circus arts can be a profound gift of self-discovery and personal growth, and we want you to love this art for the rest of your life.

Testimonials

The instructors are so kind and caring. They want to make sure you’re safe, and they do have top-notch equipment, and it is very clean. I do private lessons with my teacher Andrew. He is awesome, and we are great friends. I’ve been going there for about two months now and I love it. He always make sure I feel comfortable but at the same time pushes me beyond my limits so that I can achieve what I’m truly capable of.

Aerial Space is a fantastic studio. I've been training here since December 2018 & can't say enough wonderful things. The instructors are ALL wonderful, talented, patient, caring people. Let that sink in for a sec, the entire staff is awesome. I started with no aerial background at all & have made progress I didn't think possible at the start. Yeah, my progress comes in inches, but it's incredibly satisfying to finally nail a new skill. Yeah, there are loads of people who pick it up faster than I, but I'm doing my best. It's fun! I particularly like the 'all levels' silks classes, it's great to be around other students who inspire me to improve. The active flexibility classes are tough, but I'm seeing fantastic results & rest assured that I'm keeping my joints safe.

Anna was absolutely amazing for our private lesson! We did an introductory class for my friend's bachelorette party. Anna was extremely professional and knowledgeable about everything we covered. We were all completely new to aerial and we all felt totally welcome and at ease here!
