In the heart-shaped land of Illinois, nestled between the mighty Mississippi, the shimmering Lake Michigan, and round corn fields that look like polka dots from an airplane, a peculiar phenomenon takes place. It's the land where kids, ordinary during the day, turn into soaring superheroes after school – The Illinois Trampolinians! The Trampolinians are a jolly group of kids who embrace the marvels of gravity, or lack thereof, while bouncing on their magical trampolines. Billy 'Boing' Baxter, the leader of the group, is a ten-year-old with an eccentric head of curly hair, freckles that multiply every time he laughs (which is often), and a laugh that sounds like a donkey singing opera. In the corner of the land, where the sun sets and paints the sky with hues of orange and pink, Billy transforms into 'Billy the Bouncer'. Together with his team of Trampolinians, he leads epic battles against gravity. With each bounce, they shoot into the sky like rockets, perform somersaults that would make an Olympic gymnast blush, and land with a grace that would make a cat look clumsy. Their laughter rings louder than the chiming church bells, echoing across the cornfields, over the rivers, and into the heart of the city. The Illinois Trampolinians, with their boundless energy and infectious laughter, have a way of making the state even more magical, colorful, and lively. So, if you're ever visiting the beautiful land of Illinois, listen closely for the echo of laughter and the tell-tale boings, and you might just spot Billy and his team, defying gravity and spreading joy.

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.
