History

Established in 2010.

How Fly Studios Started: by owner Michelle Carreno-​Bolong…

​

«This project started from a very passionate ambition of mine. When I had decided to retire as a Cirque Du Soleil performer in 2008, I wanted to dedicate every part of me to this new vision of creating a positive and extremely nurturing space that specialized in educating creative movement in the air for our students from ages 1.5 — 15 years old! In 2010 we opened up our first studio in Manhattan Beach! Our goal was to simply give my community the gift of flight. In 2014 I had the opportunity to build our own beautiful dream building from the ground up and we now reside in Redondo Beach. Our kids and all of their hard work and artistic expression is what keeps this vision alive and growing… and of course it is the support from our fly academy families that gives us the momentum. We are a small business that makes big things come alive, and I thank my community for their unyielding support!»
