Aerial instruction at AerFire has a foundation in current exercise science for smart, safe, effective training.  

​

Youth learn how to train like an athlete and create like a choreographer.

Music Education

Performing Arts are built upon a foundation of music.

Knowing music makes you a better dancer, a better aerialist, a better choreographer, a better actor, not to mention, a better musician.

​

Many wonderful performers have had their college and career path stunted for lack of a foundational music education.

​

Open that door for your child.

Circus Flow Art

AerFire is on the grow!!!

We are building towards regular flow arts, dance, and every wonderful performing art we can do!

​

AerFire's mission is to provide an accepting, humane, productive, learning atmosphere!

​

That includes designing schedules that meet the needs of children at their specific age & stage!

That includes building budget-friendly programs for busy families!

​

That includes providing teaching opportunities for arts instructors who seek a better way! A positive atmosphere for instructors creates a positive atmosphere for the children.

Registration for CURRENT STUDENTS will open on April 1st for the Summer 2026 session. Please complete registration by April â€‹30.

​

​

​​

Email info@aerfire309.com to be put on the waiting list. Please state "Youth Waiting List" in the subject line. Thank you!

Intermediate & Advanced

Intermediate and Advanced Aerialists will be doing strength and skill assessments in class during April. I will have a list of exercises and skills to work on posted in the studio so they know what is expected.

​

Please encourage your children to bring their aerial bags & journals to class so they can keep track of their progress.

​

Please consider as AerFire grows, those spots in Intermediate & Advanced classes are desired by many. The opportunity to learn aerial arts is pretty rare and special! 

 

Prioritize aerial classes when considering family schedules. There are a bunch of sports, dance, tumbling, theater, music classes that are competing for your child's time. If they LOVE aerial, help them prioritize.

​​

It's a fine line between enabling children to try a variety of activities, and overdoing it. Aerial requires a high level of athleticism to succeed long-term, and if children are inconsistent or stretched too thin, they will not be given the chance to see how far they could fly in aerial!

​

I plan our classes, weeks, months, seasons, and yearly training patterns to minimize injury risk and maximize strength and skill progression. If children aren't here, they miss important pieces of the whole puzzle. 

​

If they aren't getting the strength focus in January and February, they won't be keeping up with their classes in skills come March and April. I individualize when it comes to adapting everything to each person, but we also run on seasons of Periodization. Those seasons are scheduled studio-wide. 

​

The plan works only for those who work the plan.

​

As I place students for summer and fall, I am considering strength, skills, as well as class attendance and the child's desire to train.

​

Make-up Classes are strongly encouraged. If you must miss a class, please try to fit one of the other time spots in.
