A HUGE thank you to for having our students out to watch their show this weekend in Richmond!

Our students had the pleasure of watching a variety of artists (aerialists, jugglers, magicians, handstanders, motorcyclists, and more!) perform under their beautiful Big Top tent! The highlight of the show was being able to watch and old student and friend of coaches Hannah and Patrick fly high on the flying trapeze 🎪✨

Hannah and Patrick coached Brie in Oakland, California in summer of 2020 prior to opening The Hanger VA. It has been a joy watching her take her love for circus and acrobatics and turn it into a professional career! Our team loved having the opportunity to meet her and the catcher on the flying trapeze after the show for a private Q&A session. Thank you so much Brie & Kyle ( & .a.ferguson) for taking time out of your busy day to hangout for a bit!!!

Our studio is proud to be contributing to the next generation of artists and we are so excited to see where this journey may take them 🎪✨🖤
