Youth Aerial Arts Program

Silk & Circus term classes are for young people aged 6 - 16yrs.

Aerials are a fantastic performing art form and physical challenge for youths, by learning new skills while being able to go upside down, climb and do various creative movements they are developing concentration, agility, spatial awareness, confidence and physical fitness. In our classes, while following our professionally design curriculum, youth students will get to learn and explore Aerial silks, Trapeze, Aerial hoop(Lyra), Corde Lisse and Hammock. We provide a fun, educative and safe environment where creativity and teamwork are encouraged. All classes are by term only.

End of year Show

At the end of each year we produce an 'End of the year Show!' for our students which is then presented and performed for friends and family. During Term 4 students (Young Flyers will present an in class mini show) develop and practice a routine that incorporates skills they have learnt throughout the year. This is a truly amazing experience for many of the students as it allows them to show off their hard work and hone their performance skills and stage presence.
