My kids have learned so much since becoming students at Cloud 9 Aerial Dance. Carissa is an amazing instructor and works with each student individually to support them, building not only their skills but also their confidence. It’s been incredible to watch their strength, coordination, and passion grow in such a positive and encouraging environment.

We have had the most positive experience with Carissa at Cloud 9 Aerial Dance! Our daughter has been taking classes for two years and has built such a confidence in herself. Carissa is exactly the kind of woman you want leading your daughters. She is patient, kind, allows the girls to build trust in themselves, allows the girls to build confidence, and makes each class so fun. These aerial classes are the only activity/sport our daughter refuses to quit. She loves it so much! Can't recommend enough!

My daughter Aviana has been doing aerial silks with Carissa for almost 2 years now. She is so patient and good with the kids. She has helped Aviana gain the confidence to try new things and has helped her feel brave. Her classes are affordable and my daughter loves going.

Cloud 9 Aerial Dance has been such an incredible part of our daughter Penelope’s life for the past 3 years. She has grown so much through this program, and it has been amazing to watch her build confidence, strength, and excitement every step of the way.

We are so thankful for the positive environment, the encouragement, and the dedication that goes into helping each student succeed. It’s more than just a class, it’s a place where kids can challenge themselves, express creativity, and feel proud of what they accomplish.

We truly appreciate Cloud 9 Aerial Dance and everything they do. If you’re looking for a fun, motivating, and inspiring place for your child to grow, this is definitely it. We’re so grateful Penelope gets to be part of it, and we highly encourage others to join too.

My 9 year old daughter and I have both been taking classes with Carissa since December 2024, and we love everything about it! Carissa is patient and thorough in her instruction, and never compromises safety. The students feel safe trying new skills because she supports them and will be there to spot them even when she knows they don’t really need her. 10/10 would definitely recommend for kids and adults! It’s been a wonderful bonding experience for my daughter and me, plus a great workout 💪🏻

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Cloud 9 Aerial Silk Studio. The instructor, Carissa, is truly exceptional. She is calm, kind, and incredibly patient. She creates a space where kids feel supported and encouraged, no matter their skill level.

My daughter looks forward to every class and always leaves feeling proud of what she’s learned. She especially loves the positive environment and how genuinely nice and welcoming everyone is. It really feels like a little community.

If you’re looking for a place where your child can grow in confidence while learning something beautiful and challenging, I highly recommend this studio.
