New York, NY

Clowns may well be some of the freakiest things this world has to offer. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them.

That’s why I was highly disturbed to learn that the New York Circus Arts Academy exists.

But then I was quite relieved when I realized that it’s not clown school. It’s an athletic, fitness, circus-gymnastics kind of place. They offer classes in Aerial Acrobatics, Aerial Silk, Conditioning and Flexibility, Acrobalance, and Trapeze.

Phew. I feel better now.

The next session starts September 10. Register now so you can join the circus like you wanted to when you were a kid.
