The Bird’s Nest is a community space dedicated to creative play, movement, and connection. Located just outside of the growing Larkinville District of Buffalo, this facility is the first in our region to offer classes in Circus Arts that are accessible for everyone regardless of body type, age, income, or ability. From acrobatics, aerial arts, hooping, strength & flexibility training, to dance, The Bird’s Nest aims to create a safe space that promotes health through non-conventional ways of moving and collaboration.

“Several of my students have expressed finding the gym and classes to be a sanctuary where they forget about their stress for a while and can focus on something rewarding for themselves. In a nutshell, aerial hoop class is about letting yourself learn to become strong, beautiful, and confident. It’s about allowing yourself to struggle with challenges, and giving yourself permission to break your own ceiling.”

Please note that we are on the west side of the street. We are opposite metalico parking, and we have a bright teal door. Drive slow when pulling in! Our driveway apron is still in need of some loving repairs.
