FALL 2025 YOUTH AERIAL DANCE AT WEEHAWKEN!

Schedule Release for Fall 2025!

Registration opens July 1 | Final deadline: September 14 (if space is available)

The Weehawken Aerial Dance program runs year-round, offering 28 weeks of inspiring instruction divided into two semesters. Each semester culminates in a performance at the Montrose Pavilion, where every student has the chance to soar on stage and showcase their progress. Classes are offered for ages 6 through 18 and are semester-based commitments, with tuition reflecting a 14-week session. Most classes perform in one show, while older and more advanced students may perform multiple times. Dancers enrolled in Level 3/4 and above are eligible to audition for featured roles—these roles include additional rehearsal time and expanded stage opportunities, offering a deeper and more challenging performance experience. Whether your dancer is just beginning or ready to take flight at a higher level, Weehawken’s aerial program blends strength, creativity, and confidence in every class. We follow a set curriculum taught by certified instructors, with an emphasis on strong technique, high-quality training, and level-appropriate progression. Our program is built with safety, structure, and long-term growth in mind—providing a consistent, supportive, and enriching experience for every student.
