In the whimsical world of America, nestled between the sparkling shores of Lake Michigan and the mighty Mississippi River, lays the cheese-filled wonderland known as Wisconsin. This fantastic state, famous for its juicy brats, Green Bay football, and creamy dairy delights, is also the home of a very exciting and daring activity - Aerial Arts! Now, if you're wondering what on earth is Aerial Arts, think of it as ballet, but instead of pirouettes on the ground, you're swirling in mid-air, flipping, twirling, and dancing like a sophisticated squirrel swinging from the tree branches! In Wisconsin, this thrill-seeking activity is adored by a group of especially brave and adventurous kids. They're known as the "Wisco Whirlwinds," led by their fearless and slightly clumsy leader, Cheese Curd Chuck. Chuck, a friendly giant with a laugh as loud as a cow's moo, has hands as big as Wisconsin's famous cheese wheels. He can juggle footballs, cheese curds, and even kids when they get too rowdy! Our Wisco Whirlwinds are as lively as a bunch of hyperactive raccoons and as entertaining as a barrel of laughing badgers. They swoop and soar, twirl and tumble, creating a spectacle that would make even the most famous of circus clowns green with envy. From the tiny town of Appleton to the bustling city of Madison, they fill the air with their laughter, daring stunts, and dreams as big as Chuck's cheese-filled heart. So kids, if you ever find yourself in the cheese lover's paradise of Wisconsin, remember to look up. You might just catch a glimpse of the Wisco Whirlwinds, swirling high in the sky, led by the chuckling Cheese Curd Chuck, the remarkable kids who add a sprinkle of aerial magic to the Wisconsin air!

At our circus school, kids ages 7 and up are able to explore a variety of circus activities, including stilt walking, trapeze, acrobatics, clowning, juggling, tight wire walking, pantomime, physical theater, circus history, visual art and costume design.
