Age and skill level. Novice divisions are for athletes aged 6-14 years, Junior divisions are for athletes aged 14-17 years. Semi-Pro and Professional divisions are for athletes aged 18+ years.
Novice and Junior performers are considered at a beginner level in silks or lyra and performing. Instructors are prohibited from performing in the Novice and Junior levels. Use of full length of silks and top and bottom bar of the lyra is not required. Novice and Junior performers are expected to show level appropriate strength, flexibility, and dynamic movement and flow. Novice and Junior performers are encouraged to establish a character or storyline for their routine.
Amateur Level aerialists are typically individuals who practice aerial arts as a hobby or for personal enjoyment, often without formal training or performance experience. Strength and flexibility will likely be at a lower level. They may participate in classes or workshops periodically but do not rely on aerial performance or instructing as a source of income.
Semi-Pro performers are comfortable with a basic level of inversions and inverted moves. Performers at this level are encouraged to establish a character or storyline and to demonstrate level appropriate movement quality, flexibility, strength and flow. Instructors are allowed to perform in this division.
Professional Level aerialists have a higher level of skill and experience than amateurs and may perform professionally on a part-time basis. They often have some formal training and may occasionally receive payment for performances and instruction, but they may also have other sources of income outside of aerial arts.
Are there required moves or restricted moves for the aerial categories?
Yes. There are required and restricted moves for each division. Please refer to the Guidelines and Regulations pages for more details.
