i won a lesson with emily in a silent auction and she was great- very attentive to form so you don’t hurt yourself while stretching and doing the tricks, and also good at adapting to everyone’s skill level. we did a bit of climbing up ropes (i feel so badass even with my wimpy arms), flipping around trapeze bars, and hanging by our legs on aerial silks (wha?? no hands??). i can see how this could get addictive. this is literally the best full body workout activity i’ve ever done (w…

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…

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.

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!!

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…

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…

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.”

Disclaimer – I’ve only taken Pole Fit & Play classes here. These are the most affordable, encouraging, fun, supportive, and ass kicking pole dance classes in the bay.

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.

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!
