Youth Aerial Classes (ages 9-14)
FOR YOUTH SUMMER PROGRAMMING, PLEASE CLICK HERE!!
Our youth classes are for ages 9-14, and most of our students are middle schoolers. Age 15+, or high school students, are welcome in our adult classes.
Policies: We are not able to refund credits, or transfer credits to future classes. We try to keep these classes as accessible and affordable as possible. To do that, we need to be strict with our sign-up policies. We do offer an intermediate drop-in class on Wednesdays at our Northtowns location to allow for flexible scheduling. We also offer private lessons if our session classes do not fit your schedule.
