Our Youth and Teen aerial program runs a Sept-mid June curriculum with full program tuition split into 10 equal monthly payments, Students attend their scheduled class time once a week. Students may chose to enroll in multiple classes per week. While we encourage a consistent training schedule throughout the year, students can make changes to their schedule or drop a class by the 15th of every month to go into effect for the upcoming month. There is no commitment to stay the full year though you will be automatically re-enrolled monthly until or unless you request a change. We hold a student Showcase at the end of the year so families can see what students have been working on. Showcase is optional but participation is highly recommended.
New students with no experience are welcome to start training in the following classes:
Mini Acro & Aerial (ages 4-6)
Kids Acro and Aerial (ages 6-9)
Youth/Teen Aerial Fundamentals (ages 10-16)
Acrodance Fundamentals (ages 10-16).
There are no pre-requisites for these classes. All students are welcome!
Students will be placed in appropriate classes as they advance. If a class you want is full please make sure that you enroll on the waitlist and we will contact you when a spot opens. The -My Account- tab will take you to our booking system.
Mini Acro & Aerial is a fun and effective class for ages 4-6. The curriculum includes Dance and Acrobatics sections and time on aerial sling or silks knot. Our program is specifically designed for young students and prioritizes building high level technique from the ground up while incorporating fun and games into learning.
Students will learn foundational dance movements and acro fundamentals such as bridges, hand balancing, splits and jumping; and basic tumbling skills such as forward and backwards rolls and cartwheels. Class will focus on building flexibility, balance, and strength as well as blending dance and acrobatic movements seamlessly together.
Ground skills will help prepare students for the air. Students will spend time in aerial sling or silks knot and start to get familiar with balancing and moving around aerial equipment. Aerial equipment is really low to the ground in this level. Small class sizes allow us to provide corrections and attention to each student.
Within class students also learn skills that help them outside of dance such as following directions, taking turns, teamwork, coordination, emotional regulation, focus, patience, kindness and confidence. We care about the environment we are providing and commit to supporting the growth of kind and wonderful humans in addition to teaching a solid technical foundation in Aerial & Acrobatic Dance.
This class is specifically designed for kids ages 6-9. We use ground work and acrobatics training to help prepare them for the air. Students will begin main instruction on aerial sling (aerial silks suspended with a loop). Occasionally foundations in Hoop, Trapeze, or straight Silks may be explored.
Kids classes incorporate games for conditioning, skills, and theory to keep the kids engaged. We don’t just teach circus, we teach life skills through circus. Kids classes have an emphasis on socialization, teamwork, confidence building, discipline, and strength; all while having a great time and learning new skills. We progress students slowly and safely in the air to build a strong, solid foundation for aerial work.
No movement experience is required to begin this class. Class sizes are limited to a small class size which allows us to meet all students at their level.
This class is for students ages 10-16 who are interested in starting ground acrobatics either as a stand alone skill or a tool to improve their ability in the air.

Class sizes are small and we can meet students at their individual skill level. Some partner skills will be explored.
This class teaches the foundations of acrobatics such as bridges, handstands, splits, leaps, beginner tumbling and cartwheels.

Our program prioritizes proper technique and focuses on progressing Flexibility, balance, and strength while learning new skills. No Dance or Acro experience is necessary for this class.
Note to aerialists: The Acrodance class curriculum compliments our aerial classes to build a balanced body. As aerial uses a lot of pulling muscles, the pushing muscles involved in acrobatics are a healthy balance for injury prevention and skill acquisition. Students in any aerial class will benefit from taking this class. It is designed alongside “Youth/Teen Aerial Fundamentals” level but it is open to any level 2 youth/teen aerial students who are interested in beginner Acro as well. You will see us recommending it as it is extremely beneficial for aerials and helps advancement on the ground and in the air.
