Testimonials

My 11 year old daughter has been training with Coach Jaron Hollander on static trapeze for over a year. She is a member of the youth performance troupe. The entire program is awesome! She is a type 1 diabetic and the focus on strength, safety, performance, fun and entertainment has only made her a stronger person. Adult programs too. Check it out!!

I want a community – for me and my kids — where we can exercise our bodies, hearts and souls. This place is just plain warm – with laughter, love and the flush of exercise.

What a great time! We just saw the show “Inversion: A Disobedient Circus” at the Kinetic Arts Center. The all tween and teen troupe wowed the audience with daring kinetic and entertaining circus acts — climbing/spinning/hanging from ropes, straps, hoops, trapeze, and “tissue”; crazy group juggling; flips/rolls/group and solo balancing/hand stands/contortion; and fun comedic episodes woven in. The art director obviously had a good eye and good feel — the visuals from make-up to sets t…

Great teachers who really take excellent care of kids and teach incredible skills. We feel like we are part of a wonderful circus community. Thanks Victoria, Jaron, Jennifer and everyone else at Kinetic Arts.

Jaron is top notch for character work and rope work. Here, there is literal clowning around, as I think a proper circus school should have. The staff and faculty here are great! They care about their students and recognize that customer service is truly an important thing. Tall ceiling and huge space! This place is cavernous. It feels like about 25 ft when I climb their silks and rope… Their squishy blue mat, totally does NOT smell like feet! Whenever I go into a fitness facility I always e…

what a fantastic school! We’ve gone twice now and my daughter (5.5 yrs) loves it. The owners and staff are exceptional. Slater is so great with kids, he keeps them engaged but also keeps them in line which is nice. They all love him. It’s a great environment and experience. I highly recommend you check it out!

I have to pass on to the high school students who performed at the EBI fundraiser a couple of weeks ago at the Claremont that they were over the top magnificent! They were professional, interesting, and amazingly skillful. Kudos to them – really impressive. As a musician, I know that being “background” entertainment can be particularly difficult.”

Kinetic Arts Center is located just off the highway in Oakland and is a clean, nice space. They have an enormous parking lot in the back too, which is super convenient. The receptionists are so warm and accommodating, A++! You can just tell Kinetic Arts Center is run by people who love circus arts, and want you to have that same amazing experience as well! No one is out to nickel and dime you, and everyone is ready to go out of their way to ensure you have a fantastic experience!

My five-year-old daughter does their after-school Circus Kids class on Wednesdays and absolutely *loves* it. Her instructor, Slater, is not just knowledgeable about circus arts but can masterfully deal with the meltdowns that inevitably come with working with small children. He teaches the kids real circus skills AND self-care, such as reminding them to drink water at regular intervals. I am completely impressed with him, and the rest of the staff are very friendly and professional as wel…

Karin W.Oakland, CA

There are several awesome things about this place. One is that they have kids classes concurrent with adult classes. YES! Gone are the days when I have to either follow my kid around during class or sit on my ass being bored. My 2.5 yr old loves his classes with Slater and I get a good circus-y workout with Jaron. A great space, good location with parking and they have a great variety of classes including flexibility and yoga.
