Examples include Ground Kids Cirque, which focuses on ground activities like tumbling and juggling, as well as Aerial Kids Cirque, which sees kids aged up to 12 take to the air in hammocks and wraps, learning and performing all kinds of aerial acrobatics and tricks.
- Community Classes - As well as offering regular circus classes for adults and kids, The Muse also runs Community Classes on a regular basis. Designed for those members of the local community and general public who want to take circus classes but can't necessarily afford to cover the costs, these classes offer open sessions of aerial silks, lyra, trapeze, hammocks, and juggling, with vinyasa yoga and modern jazz classes also open. To access the Community Circus Classes with The Muse, you'll need to apply for a scholarship, which can be done online.

Running for six months with two 4.5 hour shifts each week, this program lets you live and breathe circus life at one of NYC's leading circus destinations, working on-site at The Muse to greet guests and set up classes, as well as enjoying free access to open workout sessions at The Muse and ground circus classes too, along with free entry into workshops and discounts on events too.
