Session Cancellation/Refunds
​
Aerial Antics reserves the right to cancel any programs with insufficient registration one week prior to the program start date. No refunds will be issued due to government enforced closures. The amount paid for registration is non-transferable to other classes or events. Cancellation or withdrawal of a registration prior to classes commencing will result in a $40.00 administration fee. Cancellations after the first scheduled class or training will result in a credit for the outstanding balance being applied to the account unless a medical note is provided. Missed classes or training cannot be refunded and cannot be made up by attending other classes or training. It is the responsibility of the participant to know their schedule which can be found on our registration page and the receipt for registration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Circus Aerials?
The appeal of the circus arts ranges from the athletic and adventurous to the curious and creative. Developing skills on aerial fabric, aerial hoop, hammock, rope and static trapeze build strength & flexibility, poise and self-confidence and provide a wonderful outlet for imagination, creative expression and fun.
There are a few things to keep in mind when you start training circus aerials:
Learning circus aerials can be challenging but is well worth the time invested. A skilled aerialist will make everything they do look easy, however, that can make it frustrating for you, the early learner, because everything feels hard. But, if you stick with it, and get your feet off the ground it is complete satisfaction.
How long will it take me to learn aerial arts?
Everyone has different strengths, and learns at a different pace. Students with high levels of conditioning and a strong background in movement arts such as gymnastics, dance, yoga, rock-climbing or martial-arts often advance more rapidly because they already possess body spatial awareness. But don't give up! If you find you’re just not getting something, don't sweat it, our classes are designed to provide flexibility to support each individual's progress. Although done in a group setting, aerials are very individualistic. Also, training time is great for practicing those nemesis moves. We also offer private lessons for a focused approach.
Aspiring to Perform?
We offer a competitive program and training times that help prepare and condition students for performing in front of audiences or participating in competitions if desired. We provide in-house student showcases which can help build the skills required for professional performances. Visit our Book Us page to see highlights from some of the events we have been involved in.

How do I register?
Answer: You can register online. Click on the "Register Now" button to be taken to our online registration portal.
I tried registering online but I can't seem to complete the registration process?
Answer: If it's you'r first time registering you need to activate your account before being able to complete the registration. Once you've created your account an email will be automatically sent to your inbox prompting you to validate your account. Once you open the email and validate your account you will then be able to complete the registration process.
Can I skill share during training time?
​
Training time is for revision of skills and development of performance pieces. Our training times are not a substitute for proper training and instruction from a qualified instructor. Skills sharing should be about playing within the skill level that the students are in, rather than as a tool to increase skill level, i.e., try hard new things. For this reason, students who are engaged in skills sharing should be at a similar skill level to each other, otherwise it is not sharing it is instruction.
What should I wear?
Wear reasonably form-fitting workout attire that covers your legs, lower back and your stomach. Tights or pants should be at least ¾ length. Help us protect the equipment! Please do not wear clothing with Velcro or zippers (even the little waist band pocket kind!) or buttons or buckles. Please do not wear jewelry. If your instructor is concerned about any hard-to-remove jewelry, you will have the option of removing it, covering it up, or staying off the equipment.
What if I miss a class?
Aerial Antics maintains a NO REFUND policy on all of our fees in order to ensure proper safety and staffing for our classes and events.
If you miss a class we can offer a credit if you provide a valid medical note. We do not offer substitutions for missed classes.
For questions please refer to our "Polices and General Information". It is the responsibility of the participant to know their schedule which can be found on our registration page and the receipt for registration (emailed after registration and always available in your Amilia account).
