Testimonials

Emily’s Sunday 5-6:30 aerial circuit class is fantastic! For the past year Emily’s class has been my sip of sanity before my work week begins. Our work out both challenges me physically, and allows me to feel accomplished. It is always engaging as we use a wide variety of equipment: rope, tissue, trapeze, Pilates balls, Thera-bands, agility boards. In addition to physical challenges, we do a lot of core strengthening work. Our work together is so inspiring, that I often wake up e…

I love them!!! they have been fantastic when it comes to fun and exercise for my son. they have the biggest patience and the best understanding of the ups and downs of young boys. But best of all, the Thursday morning Pilate’s class with Emily has built up my stamina, reconnected me with my core, in a fun jovial and never over top manner. Emily is completely understanding of bodily limitations and yet will provide you with enough support to slowly reconnect with that part of you that you thou…

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.

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…

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.

Jeff F.Oakland, CA

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…

Brian R.Oakland, CA

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…

This is a truly soulful place. A place to get an unbelievably good workout, yes – but also, a true arts center, a real community, populated by very *real* and down-to-earth people, students and instructors alike. I’ve only been going for a couple of weeks, to the trapeze and Pilates classes, but I already love it here and feel like it’s home.

Sandra COakland, CA

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.”

Thanks for accommodating our brownie troop. They had a great time. Today was what girl scouts should be about…..having fun…learning more about yourself and then sharing it with others in a silly kind of way. We’ll be back. Thanks again.
