I am Angela Higgins, a Twin Cities based circus artist. I own and operate Hazmat Circus LLC. I am part owner of Dragons Lair Performing Arts, a circus school for adults. I am also a professional performer available to hire for corporate and private events.
My ultimate goal is to combine multiple facets of performance, circus arts, education, and entertainment.

Check out my studio’s website for info on circus classes! Aerial Silks, Lyra (Aerial Hoop), Merkaba (Aerial Star), Rope, Trapeze, Flow Arts, Fire Jams, Flexibility classes, and more!

If you have any questions about roller skating classes, aerial classes, fire/flow arts, booking info, or anything else- please fill out the form and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
You can also sign up for updates on shows, new classes, and deals at Dragons Lair!

I teach Aerial Silks 2 on Tuesdays at Dragons Lair Performing Arts! Prerequisites: aerial inverts, Star Drop, familiarity with elements taught in the lower Silks classes.
Check out dragonslairmpls.com for our full schedule of aerial and flow arts classes.

I run the adult skating lesson program at Cheap Skate Roller Center and I teach the advanced skating lessons! Prerequisites: Backwards skating, one foot balance both sides, and a willingness to learn! Just starting to learn? Don’t worry, there’s also a beginner group and an intermediate group Mondays at 6pm so drop in any Monday!

Open gyms are for working on things you learned in class, whether you learn here at Dragons Lair or you go to another studio. My Sunday night open gym is perfect for a long workout, but check out dragonslairmpls.com for our full open gym schedule, we have open gyms daily!
