Trapeze jokes aside, Sky Candy really has set a high bar with its new facilities. After years fundraising, designing, and inspecting, Winnie Hsia opened the doors to her company's Springdale General studio in October. Featuring 27-foot rig points, a pole studio named after a Norse giantess, and abundant natural light, the new Sky Candy space is a 6,500-square-foot marvel. But it's not just the studio's stunning red-and-white striped accent wall that'll make you feel at home under the big top: Sky Candy's knowledgeable instructors and inclusive student community will have you wanting to run away to the circus in no time.
