Ticketing allows us to:
Guarantee seating for attendees
Maintain safe audience sizes
Help cover production costs, including staffing, setup and teardown, props and aerial equipment, lighting, and administrative support
Pricing
General Admission: $10
Seniors (65+) & Children (12 & under): $5
Performance Dates

Each athlete will perform on both nights.
Ticket Request Process
Tickets will be first come, first served per show
During the initial release, each family may request:
Up to 3 tickets for one performance night
If additional seats remain, a second release will open for more tickets
A ticket request form with full purchase instructions will be shared soon.
We appreciate your support as our program continues to grow and can’t wait to celebrate our athletes with you! ✨

Our annual aerial celebratory Fun Night is on June 6th. Times and details for both of these events will be announced soon…
Reminders
Attendance: We are beginning choreography, which is an exciting and important phase of the season. Because choreography decisions are made in real time, students who are unable to attend regularly may fall behind or need to step out of the portion of the routine currently being worked on.
Aerial Attire - The safest and most effective aerial outfit is a leotard with a fitted long-sleeve top and ankle-tight leggings. Loose shirts can ride up during training, which becomes a safety hazard when students let go of the silks to pull them down.
Please remove all jewelry before class.
Keep nails trimmed and smooth, as long nails can catch or tear the fabric.
