Detroit Flyhouse Circus School — Local services in Detroit

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...

A couple years ago my daughter expressed interest in learning the art of silks. I had no idea where to turn to, I reached out on social media, and a friend let me know she had been taking classes at the Detroit fly house. I immediately jumped online and enrolled my daughter in her very first class. She was nervous but excited. From the very first class, she was met with a positive uplifting instructor. Everybody there treated her very nice. She was younger, so I was afraid how she would do around a class full of adult adults. I received nothing but high remarks regarding the staff from My Daughter. And the staff seemed to care for her as well!

Unfortunately, she occurred an injury from a different sport, so we did have to take some time off, and she has been begging to go back to the fly house because that is how much she has loved it. I’m so excited to see her start back up this weekend! We love the fly house and all of the staff. From the owner to the instructors, they really are phenomenal. I look forward to seeing her growth with this company. I would recommend it...

tl;dr: AWESOME coaches. INCLUSIVE of ALL abilities and bodies. 10 out of 10 recommend.

From someone who has never before done anything aerials: this is THE place.

The coaches are awesome!!! They provide encouragement and positive feedback with moves and sequences. When I’ve made mistakes they've communicated what went wrong in a constructive way that only makes me want to try again to improve. Improper vs proper forms are highlighted, and why those are important for safety. I never feel self-conscious asking questions or for clarification. Different ways to mount, dismount, and move through sets are demonstrated inclusively for all ability levels and all bodies.

The studio space is aesthetically fun and the atmosphere is always super welcoming and open. I could not have asked for a better place to start, and I can’t wait to be in more classes. Every session is fun and the coaches are friendly & personable. All the words of praise for this beautiful, wonderful, amazing space and the people who make it...
