Get Started Today
Our program's first step is enrolling in our Beginner Aerial FUN-damentals. These classes are designed for ages 7-17 to introduce young aerialists to the exciting world of aerial arts in a fun and engaging manner. In this class, kids rotate through different apparatuses each week, including the lyra hoop, sling, silks, trapeze, and more. The class focuses on building foundational movements specific to each apparatus, allowing participants to develop strength, flexibility, and body awareness in a fun and supportive environment.
​
Throughout the sessions, children will be encouraged to experiment and express themselves creatively on each apparatus. The goal is to provide a well-rounded introduction to aerial arts, allowing participants to discover their preferences and interests. This class serves as a stepping stone for students before they move into more specialized apparatus-specific classes.
​
These classes are a monthly commitment and ongoing throughout the year. You can start any time.
