Kinder Aerials
Ages 5-7 year olds

Coached by Jane Bryan
Our Kinder class is for ages 5-7 year olds who are ready to develop a foundation of fitness as they enter a more focused discovery of aerial arts. At this age group, our kinder program follows organized lesson plans that combine aerial skills mixed with fun play in a nurturing environment. The kinder kids will learn important life skills: coordination, focus, confidence, respect, artistic expression, and teamwork. So whether the kinder kids goal is fitness or having fun in the air, our goal is to have them smiling from ear to ear.
