Over on the sun-kissed, beach-riddled, avocado-filled strip of land we call California, there's a crew of brave, daring, and slightly nutty kids that are part of a secret, exclusive society. This society doesn't require secret handshakes, code phrases or special cloaks. No, these kids are part of the high-flying, gasp-inducing world of Aerial Arts! Meet our main man, Funky Freddie. Freddie is as Californian as a perfectly toasted almond. He loves surfing the Pacific waves, snacking on fish tacos, and, of course, hanging upside down from dizzying heights. Freddie has a mop of wild curls that fluffs up like a startled porcupine when he's spinning through the air, a grin as wide as the Golden Gate Bridge, and the kind of fearless spirit that makes grown-ups shake their heads in disbelief. Freddie and his fearless friends are the superheroes of this Aerial Arts world. Suspended from silken scarves, they spin, flip, and twirl, defying gravity and making the audience's hearts pound faster than a rabbit in a marathon. They're not afraid to risk a tumble, because they know the ground (or at least, the safety mat) will always catch them. Every day, these daring children learn something new - how to balance while hanging from their knees, how to wrap themselves up in the fabric like a cocoon and then unfurl with the grace of a butterfly, and most importantly, how to laugh when they slip or stumble. For in the sunny state of California, even when you're upside down, life is always an adventure!

What began in a humble New York City apartment with just a single student, Spark, has since blossomed into an enriching program impacting thousands of children. Our unique educational approach combines the elements of art, yoga, meditation, and nature to create a holistic learning environment. This distinctive blend is what sets Spark apart, allowing us to reach and inspire a multitude of children in truly meaningful ways. With an array of offerings to accommodate various schedules and needs, Spark has something for everyone. Our services extend beyond the standard after school and weekend classes to include holiday and summer camps, birthday parties, portfolio preparation, private classes, and custom pods. We also welcome homeschool groups and are thrilled to announce the recent addition of a forest school program to our repertoire. You can find Spark on-site in various schools and at our main studio located in the Upper West Side. But we're not stopping there - we're also planning to expand to the Upper East Side and Brooklyn. For our families in Pennsylvania, we run the program from our family studio there. And if you're not in close proximity to any of our locations, don't worry. We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are. We invite you to explore all the ways you can experience Spark and look forward to helping bring our program to you.
