Introductory and Beginner Classes
PRESCHOOLER &
MOM-OR-DAD & TOT CIRCUS FUN
A fun introduction to the world of wheel and the circus arts for you and your children!
-
Tots 2-3 years old
-
Preschoolers 3-5 years old
WHEEL JAM
Participants are introduced to the basics of wheel – the foundational tricks that wheelers need to know to roll for fun, or to begin to compete and perform. They will learn the basics of rocking and balancing, tricks with belts (rolling upside down and all the way around) and without belts. As they gain confidence in their wheel tricks they will learn sequences such as those that are used for performances and beginner competition. They will also work on fun tricks with partners, and learn the proper way to look out for and care for their wheelmates.
CIRCUS ARTS
Step right up and get carried away with spectacular circus activities. Learn skills that have entertained generations under the big top including juggling, aerial arts, acrobatics and the amazing wheel!
AERIAL ARTS
If your child has always loved climbing or trying new and adventurous things, then you might want to check this class out! Students are taught basic hangs, climbs, locks and inversions tailored to their individual skills and abilities.
Advanced & Competitive Classes
ADVANCED WHEEL JAM
This class is for students who have already mastered the basics at a beginner wheel class or at summer camp, and who want to take their wheel practice to the next level. This class will help to prepare students for the wheel path they want to follow: competitive wheel and/or performance, or simply rolling for fun!

AERIAL ARTS
This class is for students who have already gained the foundational skills at a beginner class or at one of our summer camps. Talk with our instructors, or email rolling@chicagowheeljam to see if this class is a fit for you.
