Performances
Aerial Antics provides entertainment for festivals, private events, fundraisers, schools and more. Our refined and inspiring performances, mix the elegance of aerial dance with the excitement of dynamic twists and falls. We chose to call ourselves “Aerial Antics” to reflect our playful approach to choreography that incorporates elements of other performance arts. We happily tailor performances to your needs and can get you involved in the act if desired.
