The Aerial Studio Series

Ready to Defy Gravity?

Imagine yourself suspended in the air, wrapped in silks or spinning on a hoop, moving to music you love. Our aerial classes are where strength meets artistry—and where you'll surprise yourself with what your body can do.

No experience? No problem. Most students start as complete beginners and leave day one hooked. Afraid of heights? Short on upper body strength? That's exactly why our approach works—we meet you where you are.

You'll climb, spin, invert, and flow through sequences that build real strength while feeling more like play than workout. All in a supportive, low-pressure environment where the goal is to enjoy the journey!

Whether you're here for fitness, creative expression, or simply to try something new, this is your space to feel strong, supported, and unstoppable.

Join our group classes or book a private lesson—your adventure starts here!

Learn Aerials with Alissa

And her crew of certified circus arts Instructors

Alissa trained at the National Institute of Circus Arts in Melbourne, specializing in aerial silks, and founded Studio CirQus in 2008 as one of Montreal's first spaces dedicated to aerial arts as a creative and empowering practice. With over 15 years of teaching experience, she's passionate about helping students discover their strength, build confidence, and express themselves in ways they never imagined possible.

    ALLYSON MARKS

  • Alissa was such a delight to meet and train with in our Aerial Silks class! My friend and I were visiting Montréal and decided to take her class, and it was such a beautiful experience. We loved how there weren’t a lot of people, so it made for a more personalized experience! She also broke the terms down to make it easy to follow, and understand when we were in the air on the silks. Alissa treated us with so much care and respect, she literally felt like a life long friend we never knew we had!!! Overall this experience is one we will never forget, and can’ wait to come back again! Thank you Alissa! :)

  • Myself and 3 of my friends attended a private lesson from Alissa. It was a blast! She was so fun and energetic. We all had zero experience with silks and she made us feel so confident! We learned so much in just the hour we were there! All of us agreed we would love to go back! Thanks again Alissa for an amazing session!

    HANNAH PALMER

  • Alissa’s silks class was amazing. She included a wonderful warmup, tips and tricks, personal advice, and expert training. The class flew by and I now have a new found love for a new art form. She made me extremely comfortable with the material, and motivated me to want to work harder. Definitely recommend, she was absolutely outstanding and I hope I can take another class soon!
