Children’s Aerial Classes – at Aerial Cirque Over Denver!
Do you have a child who swings on ropes, loves to climb, and runs fearlessly to the monkey bars? Our children’s aerial classes at Aerial Cirque Over Denver are perfect for that adventurous spirit!
What ages do you teach for children’s aerial classes?
We offer aerial dance classes for ages 3+. Firstly, is our preschool aerial class. We call this our “flying tots” class. It is for children 3 to 5. In this class, children explore aerial movement through games and activities. For example, children might learn how to swing on a trapeze through a game, kicking over a series of blocks. In addition, we offer youth, pre-teen, and teen aerial classes. Youth are children ages 6 to 8. Pre-teens are 9 to 12. And teen classes are for 13 to 17.

What Will My Child Learn?
In our classes students learn four apparatuses. These include silks, trapeze, sling (hammock), and lyra (hoop). Firstly, is aerial silks. The silks are one long piece of strong nylon fabric. The silks are rigged to the ceiling with 2 separate tails. Secondly, is trapeze. Trapeze is a bar apparatus that spins and swings. In addition, is aerial hammock. It is a fabric apparatus that hangs a few feet off the ground. It is also known as sling. Finally, lyra is also known as hoop. It is a steel apparatus similar in size to a hula hoop.
New students will start in a beginner session. In other words, students need to learn fundamental skills before progressing to higher levels. Students perform at the end of the session. This occurs during the final class! Above all, students will gain strength, confidence, and flexibility!
