At Cirques Experience, kids build strength, balance, and confidence through Gym Wheel and circus activities while also getting help with homework from dedicated tutors.

Our Mission

 

We help each child:

 

  • Set and achieve personal goals

  • Learn the value of hard work

  • Build confidence and pride in their abilities

  • Develop trust and respect for themselves and others

  • Feel part of a supportive, fun community

Why Gym Wheel?

​

The Gym Wheel is perfect for kids of all skill levels—it builds balance, flexibility, and strength without requiring prior experience. Kids can:

 

  • Learn circus arts (wheel, aerials, trampolines, juggling, acrobatics)

  • Play, perform, and compete in a safe, supportive environment

  • Experience the fun of movement while staying active
