Ages 5 Through Adult
Welcome to Weehawken Aerial
Strength, artistry, confidence, and community—in the air.
Weehawken’s aerial program brings together progressive aerial training and the artistry of dance. Students develop strength, coordination, flexibility, body awareness, creativity, and confidence while learning on silks, lyra, sling, and other aerial apparatuses.
Classes are available for beginners through experienced aerialists, with programs for ages 5 through adult in Montrose and Ridgway. Ouray families are invited to join us at our nearby Ridgway locations.
Youth aerialists also have opportunities to perform in Weehawken’s fully staged, story-driven productions. Fall 2026 students will take part in The Nutcracker, Remixed!, followed by Peter Pan in Spring 2027.
Fall 2026 Registration Is Open

The Weehawken Aerial Experience
Why Students Choose Weehawken Aerial
Our aerial program combines progressive skill development, dance-based artistry, performance opportunities, and a supportive community. Students learn to move with strength, control, creativity, and confidence—both in the air and on the ground.
Progressive Training
Students begin with strong foundations and progress through thoughtfully sequenced skills, transitions, and combinations. Classes are organized by age, experience, and readiness so students can build strength, body awareness, coordination, and aerial vocabulary over time.
More Than Tricks
We approach aerial as both a physical discipline and a performing art. Students explore musicality, sequencing, shape, expression, and storytelling while developing skills on silks, lyra, sling, and other aerial apparatuses.
A Community That Celebrates Growth
Aerial attracts creative, determined people who understand that progress looks different for everyone. Students encourage one another, celebrate breakthroughs, work through challenges, and experience the confidence that comes from discovering what they can do.
A Curriculum Built for Long-Term Growth
Weehawken’s aerial curriculum is informed by apparatus-specific teacher education through Paper Doll Militia, an internationally recognized leader in aerial teacher training and development.
This progressive approach helps students develop strong foundations before advancing into more complex skills, sequences, and creative aerial work. Classes are currently offered for youth, teens, and adults in Montrose and Ridgway.
