Discover the powerful advantages of enrolling your child in Aerial Arts classes at Starz 2 Kidz Gym. Our program blends skill-building, creative movement, and strong mentorship to support each child’s growth. With a focus on safety, strength, and self-expression, students unlock their potential in a space designed to help them rise higher in every way.
Without the structured progression and recognition offered in our program, kids may miss key moments that build self-esteem and resilience.
Traditional sports often focus on one skillset, which may limit creative growth and physical exploration.
Less emphasis on community can leave students feeling disconnected or excluded.
In larger team settings, individualized feedback can be limited, slowing down progress.
Without varied movement training, kids may miss out on building key strength, balance, and body awareness.
Aerial students gain confidence through steady skill mastery and personal achievements that are celebrated in a supportive environment.
Our classes introduce diverse apparatus and movement styles, helping kids explore and express themselves in new ways.
We foster connection through teamwork, trust-based partner activities, and a welcoming classroom dynamic.
Our instructors tailor guidance to each child’s pace and ability, helping them grow with clear direction.
Aerial Arts strengthens core muscles, improves coordination, and develops spatial awareness, all while having fun.
Building Healthy Bodies Through Creative Flight
At Starz 2 Kidz Gym, Aerial Arts gives students an exciting way to stay active while building a strong foundation for lifelong health. Unlike traditional workouts, aerial training keeps kids engaged through movement that feels more like play than exercise. Students use silks, hammocks, and other apparatuses to practice lifts, climbs, and balances that engage their full body.
Our progressive approach introduces foundational techniques first, such as footlocks, climbs, and body wraps, then gradually builds to more complex poses and transitions. This keeps the challenge level just right for each student’s stage of development.
Along the way, your child will benefit from:
- Increased core strength and stability
- Improved flexibility and posture
- Enhanced coordination and balance
- Safe and consistent cardiovascular activity
Because Aerial Arts supports both muscular and cardiovascular fitness, it is ideal for kids who may not connect with competitive sports but still need an outlet to move, grow, and thrive.
Sharpening Young Minds Through Aerial Movement
Aerial Arts challenges the body and the brain at the same time. Each class encourages students to think critically, solve problems, and stay focused in order to perform skills safely and smoothly. Whether it’s remembering a sequence of poses or adjusting their grip for balance, students are constantly using their minds to stay engaged.
As they advance, children learn to string movements together with control and intention. This strengthens both short-term memory and spatial awareness, which are key cognitive skills that support academic learning. They also begin to recognize rhythm and timing, which reinforces pattern recognition and creativity.
Our program helps develop:
- Stronger focus and task completion
- Memory and coordination through repetition
- Decision-making and body awareness under pressure
- Creative thinking and problem-solving through movement
This mental engagement naturally carries into other areas of life. Whether at school, home, or in social settings, students become more confident in their ability to stay focused, process information, and follow through.
Rising Above Doubt with Every Skill Learned
As students begin to master techniques like hip keys, inversions, and aerial transitions, they build confidence that comes from real progress. Aerial Arts pushes students to set goals, overcome fears, and celebrate personal victories in a space where every win matters. They learn that strength comes from trying again, even when something feels difficult at first.
This hands-on journey builds resilience, self-trust, and a growth mindset. Even shy or reserved children often become more expressive and self-assured through the confidence they gain from performing skills they once thought were out of reach.
What students gain includes:
- A healthy sense of accomplishment through goal-setting
- Resilience from working through physical and mental challenges
- Positive self-image through individual growth
- The courage to be seen and supported by peers
Our instructors offer consistent encouragement and clear feedback, reinforcing a sense of value and self-worth that extends beyond the gym. Every student is recognized not just for what they can do, but for how far they have come.
Helping Kids Find Their Strength in the Air
Many kids come into Aerial Arts with little or no idea of what they’re capable of. But as they explore the movements, tools, and techniques that make this art form so unique, they begin to uncover their own strengths. Some find a passion for acrobatic tricks, while others shine in flow-based routines or creative choreography.
The beauty of our program is that it allows for individual discovery within a structured path of growth. Students are not just learning tricks. They’re developing new ways to express themselves, explore movement, and take pride in what makes them unique.
Our approach encourages students to:
- Try different aerial disciplines to find their personal style
- Celebrate personal strengths in movement and creativity
- Gain confidence in their voice and identity
- Pursue personal goals in a non-competitive environment
By giving kids a chance to explore freely while still receiving clear guidance, we help them not only grow as aerial artists, but also as individuals ready to take on new challenges with confidence.

My family moved to Auburn from the metro Atlanta area last summer, and finding the right dance studio was a top priority—dance has always been a passion for my daughter, and we wanted a place where she could thrive. From the very beginning, Ms. Kathy welcomed us with warmth and generosity. She offered my daughter the opportunity to attend trial classes and get to know the other dancers, which made us feel immediately at home.
We were deeply impressed by the kindness shown by both the staff and the students. Since joining Rising Starz, my daughter has not only been encouraged and supported but also challenged to grow as a dancer and as a person. The dedication of her teachers has made a lasting impact, and the friendships she’s built here have been a source of true joy and encouragement.
