New in 2026 - DROP IN CLASSES and LATE REGISTRATION!!

Historically, Sparrow Studios has always been a session-based circus school. We love that model because it helps you dive into a progressive curriculum and really see your skills take off. But we also know that life happens, and sometimes you just want to hop into a class without the full commitment.

The evolution is here: We’ve opened up select classes for drop-ins!

As long as you meet the prerequisites and there’s a spot available, you can hop in!

How to snag a spot:

1. Check the Widget: Head over to our registration page (the same spot you usually go for sessions).

2. Look for the Button: If a class is open for drop-ins, you’ll see a "Drop-in" option.

3. Book Your Way: You can pay online instantly, or just show up and pay the instructor via Cash or Venmo.

4. Old School: If you prefer the personal touch, you can still contact your instructor directly to see if there’s room.

While we’re excited about the flexibility, we still love a heads-up! If you’re planning a drop-in or a makeup, try to book or reach out in advance. It helps our instructors prep the best possible experience for everyone.

While aerial classes are still mostly session-based (keep an eye out for occasional openings!), you can drop into these favorites just about any time, if there is space!:

• Handstands

• Strength & Flexibility

• Juggle Jam

• Acro Jam

drop in pricing: $10 for a 60 minute jam, $15 for a 60 minute class, $25 for a 90 minute class, $30 for a 2 hour class

Of course, don’t forget our community classes that are ALWAYS drop in!!

Class Descriptions

I finally figured it out! You can now view all the class descriptions for our adult programs on the Adult Classes page. I've embedded a document there with all the details, so you can check prerequisites and get a better idea of what to expect before registration opens. Hopefully, this helps answer some of the questions you've had. See you at the studio!!

Class Pricing Adjustment

We want to let you know about a necessary update to our class pricing – Running a studio comes with significant costs, and in the past few months, expenses like insurance, registration software, and utilities have particularly impacted us financially during the summer period of lower enrollment. To help us continue offering the high-quality classes you love, we'll be introducing a slight price increase of $10 per class, effective August 5, 2025, to help cover increasing bills and continue to pay our instructors a respectable wage. We strive to keep our prices accessible, and increasing them is never something we do without careful consideration.

On a brighter note, you can pay our current rates by taking advantage of our Early Bird Discount! Register within the first week of enrollment to lock in the former tuition prices. This offer is our way of showing gratitude to our continuing students and helps us gauge class demand more effectively! 

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to us.

And if you can’t take classes or show your support financially right now, then please spread the word about our classes and events! We appreciate our community so much <3

Same classes... new names! CB gets an UPDATE

NEW THIS SEPTEMBER! Our instructors have been hard at work updating our Intro to Aerial, Continuing Beginner 1, and Continuing Beginner 2 adult aerial curriculums! While the names for the CB levels have a slight refresh, the core themes and progression remain consistent. You'll still advance through one Intro class, two CB1 classes, and three CB2 classes before moving on to CB3.

We're considering developing curriculums for Handstands and other adult classes, too. What do you think? We're always looking to expand our offerings! We'd love to hear what you'd like to see at the studio! Thanks for growing with us <3

new class names are as follows:

Formerly CB1 - Flamenco

now, CB1 - Single Pole

Formerly CB2 - Flamenco

Now CB2 - Same Side

Formerly CB2 - Hipkey

Now CB2 - Opposite Side

Check out our updated ADULT CLASS Page - scroll to the bottom for further information on our aerial class progressions.

BIPOC & Foster Child Scholarship

Great news – You can now contribute to our BIPOC and Foster Child Scholarship Fund! This fund offers a 25% tuition discount for BIPOC and Foster Child participants. The studio is committed to this initiative and covers the rest, so the instructors are paid the standard tuition amount. Many of you have asked how you can help, and now it's easy! When you register for classes, you'll see optional amounts of $10, $20, or $50 that you can add to your tuition to support the scholarship fund. 

Our commitment to a people-first, profit-second philosophy means we prioritize our value of community - we try to balance efforts to keep student costs low and also uphold fair compensation for our dedicated instructors. And that has been a challenge! While we've always strived to maintain this balance, recent rising costs and fluctuations in enrollment have made it unsustainable without considering some adjustments.

Stay tuned for the September/October Schedule, to be published next week! 

If you have any feedback or ideas for us about this (or anything!), we are always open to hear you.
