BEAST Studios is a technique-driven circus arts training space located in Arabi, just minutes from downtown New Orleans, founded by international daredevil and circus impresario LadyBEAST. Here, students of all levels build strength, skill, and presence - one disciplined session at a time.

Welcome to BEAST Studios.

BEAST Studios, the home of LadyBEAST Productions, is a circus arts studio in the Greater New Orleans area offering technique-based circus training for all levels. We provide instruction in aerial and circus arts, grounded in strength, skill, and safety, within a supportive, community-driven environment.

Founded by LadyBEAST, a modern strongwoman and professional circus artist, the studio bridges traditional circus craft with contemporary training standards. We serve both new students and working professionals seeking high-level circus arts training, rehearsal space, and support for developing new acts and creative work.


What We Teach

Circus arts for every body, from first-timers to working pros.

Clowning

Play, presence, timing, and vulnerability. Classes explore character, physical comedy, improvisation, and the emotional intelligence that makes circus human.

Acrobatics

Partnering, hand-to-hand, adagio, tumbling, and strength-based movement. We focus on trust, technique, and conditioning for sustainable circus bodies.

Aerial

Fabric, hoop (lyra), rope, straps, trapeze, inventive apparatus, and more -  always grounded in strong technique, safety, and creative expression.

Equilibrium (Balancing Acts)

Handstands, balance work, and precision-based skills that cultivate control, focus, and embodied awareness.

Juggling/Object Manipulation

Coordination, rhythm, patterning, and flow - from traditional juggling to movement-based and experimental forms.

WHO WE’RE FOR

  • Curious beginners who’ve always wanted to run away with the circus

  • Dancers, movers, and athletes looking to expand their skill set

  • Cabaret Artists and variety performers wanting to re-invigorate their craft

  • Working artists looking for space to develop new acts and productions, with access to flexible drop-in classes.

Whether you're looking for aerial classes, circus strength conditioning, or creative act development in New Orleans, there's a place for you here.


If you’re ready to show up, work hard, and respect the craft, you belong here.
