About Beloved Aerial Arts
Welcome to the Beloved Aerial Arts community. It is our mission to make circus arts and pole fitness available to children and adults in a safe and fun environment. What started out as a backyard business in the summer of 2020 has evolved into a wonderful little community of circus and pole enthusiasts.
Founding Story
Beloved Aerial Arts launched under the name of Beloved Little Circus in the summer of 2020 during the COVID pandemic. It was certainly a silver lining during this hard time in history, because I was able to provide aerial classes for kids and adults when they needed it the most. At the time, I did not realize that I was building a community. As a former competitive gymnast and a dancer, I am grateful to have found aerial arts as an adult. Aerial and Pole have allowed me to connect with the truest version of who I was designed to be, and I wanted nothing more than to share it with the world. Building community and watching kids and adults create and transform through aerial arts and pole keeps me going.
Our Vision
My Vision has always been to have a studio that supports the growth of kids, teens, and adults in their aerial and pole journeys. Another important part of the vision is to create spaces for kids and adults to perform in the studio, at local community events, and professionally.
Our Mission
My mission at Beloved Aerial Arts is to provide aerial and pole classes to kids and adults in a space that is both physically and emotionally safe and artistically inspiring. At the studio, you are BELOVED, free to be completely yourself and loved for the unique individual that you are!
