About Us
History
Sky Candy was founded in June 2010 by a group of friends who wanted to create a space to make aerial and circus arts accessible to Austinites. Our very first studio was an outdoor aerial rig with one rig point at The VORTEX on Manor Road. From our modest beginnings, we have grown into a 30+ person company with a custom built 6500 square foot space in East Austin where we can realize our wildest aerial and circus arts dreams!
Our Mission
Circus is for every body. Our mission is to make circus accessible and empowering for everyone. We offer classes, camps, and performances that emphasize safety, cultivate creativity, and celebrate diversity. We offer classes to students of all ages and abilities and we welcome you to come run away and join us!
Accolades
Sky Candy has been the recipient of multiple Austin Chronicle Best of Austin awards, including Best Alternative Fitness (2021) and Best Exercise Class (Bungee Fit - 2022). We have been featured in PBS documentaries, morning news programs, and much more.
