Hard Work. Creativity. Movement.
Grow Up in the Air.
Verticality’s Youth Aerial Arts program has been designed to introduce young children and teens to the world of Aerial Arts. This program emphasizes the importance of the fundamentals of aerial movement, safety, as well as creating an environment of self-expression for each student to discover their inner performer.
Verticality currently offers three regular weekly aerial classes for kids -- classes for 6-8 yrs, and 9-12 yrs. We also have a class for homeschool-based students as well.
Youth Silks (6-8): Thursdays @ 4:30PM
Youth Silks (9-12): Tuesdays @ 4:30PM
Youth Aerials for Homeschool Students: Tuesdays @ 10:30AM
While we have main sign ups in Fall and Spring, we are always welcoming new students if classes are not full/waitlisted.
Classes are silks-focused. Students will learn moves and progressions, building strength and confidence as they advance.
Our Youth aerial program runs six week class planned curriculums with payments every six weeks. Students attend their scheduled class time once a week. Students may choose 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 six weeks.
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 in the Spring of each year so family can see what students have been working on. Showcase is optional but participation is highly recommended.
There are no pre-requisites for these classes. All students are welcome! 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.
