About

The Aerial Olympics is a local aerial fitness competition and showcase designed to give aerialists of all levels a place to measure progress, challenge themselves, and connect with other practitioners. This isn’t circus performance — it’s athletic skill, control, and movement expressed through aerial training.

What it is

A series of aerial fitness stations and challenges

1. Strength, balance, control, and solo flow performance

2. Categories for different skill levels: Beginner and Intermediate

3. Measurable results and benchmarks

4. Recognition for standout performances — no background or pre-qualifying required

Who its for

Everyone is welcome to participate, from beginners to advanced practitioners. Each competitor will receive feedback and a snapshot of their current skills to help track progress over time.

In the first part of the competition, you will compete within your level category. For the second part, you are invited to perform a flow dance sequence of up to 3 minutes. Practice slots will be posted soon so you can rehearse at your convenience. For your aerial flow sequence, you may include poses learned in class, create your own, or draw inspiration from online videos. We are excited to see every performance and strongly encourage everyone to join the second part of the Olympics.

Goals of the Event

The Aerial Olympics was created to build a local standard for aerial fitness, to help you see progress with real benchmarks, and to bring aerial practitioners together in a supportive setting. It gives aerial training a real, athletic frame, not just a class environment.
