Inversion Aerial – November Newsletter
2026
A Night at the Museum ✨
Our show, "A Night at the Museum," is on Saturday, November 14, and Sunday, November 15.
When the lights go down, the paintings come to life! This fall, our aerialists bring famous works of art to the air through choreography, music, and costume. Join us for a night at the museum where the art takes flight.
Each aerialist performs both nights of show weekend, and each show runs about 1 hour.

Hair and Makeup
General Guidelines (All Levels)
Hair should be pulled up and completely out of the face.
Hair accessories are welcome, as long as they don't dangle or distract.
Makeup should be clean and polished — nothing heavy or overly bright. Colors may be chosen to match costumes.
Lipstick is fine, but please avoid shiny or glossy finishes.
🚫 No glitter of any kind, please!
If your aerialist is trying a new hairstyle, we recommend practicing it in class so it's comfortable on show day.

✨ Aerial Arts – Attire & Safety Reminders
To help keep everyone safe and comfortable during training, please review these important reminders.
Proper Aerial Attire
We recommend a leotard or fitted long-sleeve top paired with ankle-length, form-fitting leggings. Loose clothing can ride up during aerial skills, creating a safety concern when students need to adjust their clothing while on the silks.
Jewelry & Nail Care
No Jewelry: Please remove all jewelry before class to prevent injuries and damage to the aerial fabric.
Trimmed Nails: Keep fingernails trimmed and smooth. Long or sharp nails can snag or tear the silks.
Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and positive training environment for all our aerialists!
We appreciate your support as our program continues to grow, and we can't wait to celebrate our aerialists with you! ✨
"The world doesn't need you to be perfect. It needs you to be bold, it needs you to care, and to keep going even when things don't go as planned."
