Youth Recreational Classes

Our recreational classes are the perfect starting place for kids new to aerial and dance! These classes focus on the fun of aerial, and students will pick up new skills along the way. We take enrollment for these classes throughout the season if space permits. You can register for recreational classes through our portal Dance Studio Pro. Students in the program have the option to participate in a showcase at the end of the fiscal season.

Private lessons are also available on trapeze, lyra (aerial hoop), fabric, and sling. Please contact our studio to book a private lesson.
