How do I sign up for class?

Click on either the Youth or Adult classes and select the time and days that work best for you!

How do I know what level to sign up for?

Our levels are to differentiate between strengths and skill sets amongst our students. Level 1 is for people who have never taken an aerial class before, AND people who have taken the class multiple times but still benefit from practice of our fundamental skill and technique. We recommend students take Level 1 multiple times in order to have a strong foundation before moving up.

Level 2 is for students who have taken aerial before and have the strength to move up and are ready for new challenges. Ask your teacher if you are ready to move up to Level 2 before signing up!

How do I sign up for Ensemble?

Registration for Ensemble is now closed for the season. Ensemble classes begin March 5th and end July 5th. Come see our show July 13th and July 14th at Antioch College Foundry Theater in Yellow Springs, OH.

I have no upper body strength, can I still take aerial class?

Yes! Our classes are based on learning tricks with your body weight supported, either in the silks knot, or basic moves that won’t require too much lifting . You will gain aerial-specific strength as you progress.

Although exercise and training outside of the class will be beneficial to aid you in your progression, participating in aerial training will get you strong for aerial. Being able to do a pull up or lift heavy weights will not replicate the grip strength that we will be using.

Do I need to have previous experience?

No. No previous experience is needed for beginner classes. Having aerial or dance experience gives you body awareness that helps you learn aerial faster, but it is not necessary. You will gain body awareness once you take aerial classes and learn to dance through the air.

What is your cancellation policy?

All fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. Once payment has been made for the session we cannot refund you halfway through if your circumstances change. Classes rely on meeting numbers to run, once you sign up you are committed to that session or workshop. If you have not paid in full before the session commences you will not be permitted to participate in class until you have completed the payment.

How long does it take to learn aerial?

Everyone learns differently and on their own time!

As a teacher, it is our job to accommodate how each individual student learns best and not everyone is the same.

The wonderful thing about circus arts is that everyone can do it! Although aerial is very physical, it is not competitive. Practice and repetition gets you to where you want to go. In the circus community we learn to be patient and lift each other up!
