Our 5000 sq ft facility offers 24 ft of vertical space and has 16 aerial points. The school offers a dedicated ground circus zone, class/events space, and dedicated membership area. We offer a variety of apparatuses including but not limited to: aerial hoop, aerial lyra, aerial silks, aerial hammock, large aerial cube, small aerial cube, trapeze, hula hoops, teeterboard, juggling balls, walking globes and more.
Our custom engineered aerial rigging safety system was designed, fabricated and installed by Kevin Clarke (P. Eng., MBA) at Ancam Solutions Company Ltd. Collingwood Circus School’s aerial rigging system was developed to allow one person to raise/lower/exchange apparatuses without having to leave the ground. It’s application is designed for one operator to safely and promptly lower a user to the ground should the user be unable to do so safely.
​
All components are designed to accommodate a 5,000 lb load on each apparatus; this represents the code requirements for industrial applications. The anchor beam is designed such that if multiple apparatuses are engaged in drops it can withstand the anticipated loads; it is also designed to allow one person to lower a user in the event of entanglement or other issue above the gym floor.
