— from Jamie Donatuto —

It’s that time of year again: the leaves are turning, the days are getting shorter, and IAA classes will begin soon.

Class registration is now open. Please go online to islandaerialacrobatics.com to register for classes.

Check out the new classes we are offering. We have beginner hoops class and new – beginner hammocks for kids and also a gentle low impact hammock flow for adults.

For more advance students we are offering strengthening and flexibility class as well as basic gymnastics and tumbling.

Please feel free to check in if any of these classes are a match for you or your child.

We are also seeking sponsorships for students. Last year, thanks to the generous help of our Island families, we were able to sponsor eight students in classes. We very much want to continue the tradition of supporting everyone on the Island who wishes to participate, regardless of their financial situation. If you are able, please donate to provide students the opportunity to learn a unique art form that they would not otherwise have access to and to provide a practical outlet where students who have an interest in the aerial arts can learn and develop their skills in a safe environment.

We are so excited to get flying with you.
