About Us
Secret Circus is a school for contemporary training in aerial arts. Located in the North Philadelphia Warehouse district, our studio has lots of natural light, 27' ceilings,13 adjustable (wire rope) points, and 2 static points. Secret Circus's number one goal for our students is safety. All rigging was professionally installed by a certified rigger and is updated and checked regularly. Our Founder, Niff Nicholls, has extensive aerial arts experience and has undergone multiple courses in rigging and safety, including a degree of certification from The National Circus School in Montreal.
Secret Circus is all about progression and artistry.
We want you, our students, to understand why and how skills work so you can create your own work. Why take classes at Secret Circus? Because we genuinely love teaching, and all of our coaches are vetted and have been training for years. We know what we are doing, and we are excited to see you fly!
