*Aerial Stars Over Denver* has 3 components that are combined for training: ADOD professionals, ADOD advanced students, and ADOD students who are interested but not yet advanced. 

*Aerial Stars Over Denver* has 2 functions. It is both a Performance Troupe Training program and a Performing Troupe made up of the professionals and students.  It is not required for ADOD professionals or advanced students to belong to *Aerial Stars Over Denver* in order to be asked to perform, but training with the troupe will raise their skill level significantly, making Troupe members better prepared and likely to be asked first.

Topics vary each week and will include:  Act and character development, stage movement, ground movement, performance techniques, conditioning, circus tumbling,dance techniques, isolations, acro, learn what casting directors look for, teaching and spotting techniques, class management,  nutrition to enhance athletic performance, stage make up, costuming, professional traits, theater, aerial performance critiques, injury prevention, and other related topics.  Aerial skills will not be taught but they will be developed and enhanced,  Llines and positions on aerial skills will be cleaned and improved.  Classes will include some strength building and flexibility on or off the apparatuses even when the main focus is another topic.

Cris Clark is the Head Coach for *Aerial Stars Over Denver*.  Cris is an excellent coach with tremendous experience training circus professionals. Guest instructors will teach when Cris is unavailable.     

Develop self-expression in your aerial work!
