MAKE UP CLASSES
Do you have any date conflicts? That’s okay! Students are allowed to make up 2 classes per semester.
Make Up Classes must be scheduled through the front office on one of the subsequent days that Youth Circus classes are offered in a similar discipline. Example: If you take silks class regularly on Mondays, then you can schedule a makeup silks class on either Wednesdays, Thursdays or Saturdays, as long as they are offered on that particular day.
All makeup classes must be scheduled during the current semester. We do not permit makeup classes for a previous semester once the new one has begun.
Simply email the front office at info@aerialartsnyc.com to schedule the make up class, and be added to the make up list.
HOLIDAY BREAKS
Aerial Arts Youth Circus classes are held consecutively for 12 weeks. We will be open for all Holidays unless specifically announced.
