Where kids can move, explore, and discover what they're capable of.

At Sunshine Aerial Fitness, our youth programs are about so much more than learning aerial tricks.  We want kids to have a place where they can move their bodies, challenge themselves, build confidence, make friends, and have fun in a supportive and encouraging environment. Aerial training helps children develop strength, coordination, body awareness, flexibility, and balance, while giving them the opportunity to try something new and celebrate their progress along the way. Whether your child is completely new to aerials or has been training for years, we have programs designed to help them learn and progress at their own pace. 🌻

Our youth programs expose students to a variety of aerial and movement disciplines throughout the session.  A welcome email will be sent to all registered youth approximately one week before the session begins and will include all the important details, holiday class cancellations, what to wear & bring, studio etiquette policy, as well as the apparatus schedule for the entire session.

Apparatuses they will learn (rotated weekly):

✨ Pole Fitness, Fly Pole & Fab Pole

✨ Aerial Silks

✨ Aerial Hammock (Sling)

✨ Aerial Hoop (Lyra)

✨ Gymnastics & Floor Skills

✨ Levels

🐒 Mini Monkeys | Ages 6–8

Our youngest aerialists explore movement and aerial apparatus in a fun, age-appropriate environment. Classes focus on foundational skills, coordination, strength, confidence, and, most importantly, having fun!

🌈 Beginner Youth Aerials | Ages 8–14

Perfect for students who are new to aerials or still developing their foundational skills. Students are introduced to a variety of apparatus and begin building the strength, coordination, and confidence needed to progress.

💫 Intermediate Youth Aerials | Ages 8–14

For students who have developed a strong foundation and are ready for more challenging skills, sequences, transitions, and combinations.

🔥 Advanced Youth Aerials | Ages 8–14

For experienced youth aerialists who are ready to continue developing more advanced skills, strength, technique, and movement quality.

Not sure which class is right for your child?

Just ask! We're always happy to help determine the best fit based on your child's experience, current skill level, and goals.

We have two youth aerial sessions a year.

🌻 Fall/Winter Session - September to January (18 weeks) - see apparatus schedule here

🌻 Winter/Spring Session - February to June (18 weeks

Priority registration is given to youth who were registered in the previous session.

If your child is not currently registered but you would like to be notified when registration opens, please email us to be added to our waitlist/notify list.

Public registration typically opens 2–3 weeks before the start of each session.

Spots can fill quickly, so we recommend registering as soon as registration opens.

If your child would like to join after a session has already started, they are welcome to do so if space is available.

Mid-session registrations will be prorated based on the number of classes remaining.

We do not offer refunds for missed classes.

However, if your child is unable to attend a class, you can unregister them through Groovio at least 3 hours before the class start time.

Doing so:

✅ Lets the instructor know your child won't be attending

✅ Opens a spot for another student who may wish to attend

✅ Automatically adds a makeup class credit to your account (which will expire on the last day of the session it was give for)

Makeup credits may be used:

• By your child to attend another youth class, provided space is available and the class is an appropriate fit for their level

• By a parent/guardian for a drop-in class

Makeup credits are subject to availability and must be used before their expiry date shown in your Groovio account.

Parents are welcome to stay and watch classes. To help create the best learning environment for all students, we ask that:

🤫 Conversations remain quiet during class

🪑 Siblings and other children remain seated in the waiting area and do not touch the aerial equipment.

Yes, provided there is space, you can book your youth in as a drop-in ($30+tx).  Prior to booking, please email us so we can determine the best class/level for them to try.
