ABOUT
Upside Aerial Arts & Fitness
Why is Circus Arts training becoming so popular? It's an awesome workout that feels more like playtime than exercise. Playgrounds shouldn't just be for little kids! People of all ages, sizes, and fitness levels need to dance, climb, play, and explore. At Upside Aerial Arts & Fitness, we do just that! Our aerial and circus arts classes build strength and flexibility while giving you a fun, creative outlet. We pride ourselves on our welcoming, supportive, non-competitive environment.
Centrally located in Burlington, NC (halfway between the Triangle and the Triad), Upside Aerial Arts & Fitness offers group classes, private lessons, parties, and professional performances in a variety of circus arts: aerial silks, trapeze, hand balancing, flexibility, contortion, and partner acrobatics. Classes are held inside The Edge Health & Fitness Club, but Upside is independently owned and operated (so no need to be an Edge member to take Upside classes)!
UP IN THE AIR
"Up in the Air" is a short documentary created by Elon University students about Upside's owner, Michelle Spurlock, and how aerial arts changed her career and life.

New To Aerial Silks?

​

6-Week Intro Course - If our Intro Courses are full, contact us to be added to our waitlist. Or book a Private or Semi-Private Lesson to start right away.

Aerial Silks Semi-Private Lesson - For $30 per person, you can bring 1 or more friends (max: 8 participants) and learn the basics together. Make it a party!
-
Aerial Silks Private Lesson - Learn the basics with one-on-one instruction ($65).
Trapeze Anyone?
This isn't flying trapeze, it's dance trapeze! You'll learn to perch, hang, wrap, swing, twist, and spin. Trapeze is accessible to beginners and full of endless possibilities for more experienced aerialists. No experience necessary.
