Welcome to the Fix Aerial Arts 2026 Student Performance Track

THE PATHWAY TO PERFORMANCE

From Aerialist to Performer

The Fix Performance Program is designed for students ready to take their aerial training beyond recreational classes and develop the discipline, artistry, technical precision, and stagecraft of a performer.

Whether you're ready to commit to the stage, want to explore performance without making that commitment, or are an experienced performer looking for a more flexible training structure, there's a pathway for you.

CHOOSE YOUR PERFORMANCE PATH

Performance Track

Commit. Train. Perform.

For students ready to make a commitment to the stage.

You'll train with the performance team, develop choreography, participate in rehearsals and production preparation, and commit to performing in the applicable season's productions.

Best for: Students ready for a performance commitment.

[ LEARN MORE → ]

Understudy Track

Commit to the season. Keep the stage optional.

For students who want to train with the performance team, develop choreography, and participate in the creative process without committing to perform.

Understudy acts are not guaranteed placement in productions or promotional materials, but students may have the opportunity to perform if their act is ready and there is appropriate space in the production.

Best for: Students who want to explore performance while keeping their personal commitment lighter.

[ LEARN MORE → ]

Flexible Advanced Track

Customize. Train. Advance.

For experienced and advanced aerialists and performers who already have a strong independent training practice but need an alternative to the standard weekly technical-class commitment.

Training may incorporate virtual check-ins, private coaching, workshops, independent training.

Best for: Experienced performers with advanced skills, strong self-direction, and instructor approval.

WHAT ALL THREE PATHWAYS HAVE IN COMMON

Regardless of your pathway, performance training at The Fix emphasizes:

TECHNIQUE
Safe, controlled, consistent execution.

ARTISTRY
Musicality, expression, transitions, and performance quality.

DISCIPLINE
Consistency, accountability, and independent practice.

TEAMWORK
Communication, collaboration, feedback, and respect for the production process.

PERFORMANCE LAB

Performance Lab is the creative hub of our Performance Program.

This is where students develop choreography, explore musicality and performance quality, train together, and prepare for production.

Membership credits may be used toward Performance Lab sessions for students enrolled in a Performance Track only.

Performance Lab is not an Open Studio session and is not available through a Flex Pass alone. Some Performance Lab sessions and open aerial sessions may occur at the same time but Performance lab coaching is exclusively for performance track students only.

PERFORMANCE TRACK

Commit. Train. Perform.

The Performance Track is for aerialists who are ready to move beyond recreational training and make a commitment to the performance process.

Students in this track work together to develop choreography, refine technical skills, build performance quality, and prepare for live productions throughout the season.

Performance Track students commit to performing in the applicable season.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

The Performance Track is designed for students who have established a solid technical foundation and are ready to take on the additional responsibility of performance training.

Minimum Entry Requirement

Students must have a demonstrated skills bank at Foundations Level 1 or higher on the apparatus they intend to perform on, as well as instructor approval.

Additional prerequisites may apply depending on the skill level and difficulty of the planned choreography.

Performance is not simply about being able to execute individual skills. Students must also demonstrate the strength, consistency, body awareness, and maturity necessary to safely perform choreography in a group production environment.

TRAINING REQUIREMENTS

Performance students are expected to maintain consistent technical training throughout the season.

Minimum Weekly Training

1 Skills Class Per Week

Students must attend at least one weekly skills/technique class on the apparatus they intend to perform on.

This ensures that students continue developing the technical strength and skill consistency necessary for their choreography.

1+ Performance Lab Sessions Per Week

Students must participate in at least one Performance Lab session each week.

Additional Performance Lab opportunities may be available depending on the season and production schedule.

Open Aerial — Recommended

One additional Open Aerial session per week is strongly recommended for independent choreography practice, conditioning, skill repetition, and act development.

ATTENDANCE & COMMITMENT

90% Attendance Requirement

Performance is a team commitment. Your attendance affects not only your own progress, but also choreography, spacing, partnering, transitions, and the ability of the entire production to rehearse effectively.

Performance Track students are expected to maintain at least 90% attendance throughout the season.

Students are responsible for making up missed choreography through approved video review, independent practice, or private coaching when necessary.

Mandatory Rehearsals

Certain rehearsals are considered essential to the production and may include:

Full-cast rehearsals
Dress rehearsals
Technical rehearsals
Spacing/staging rehearsals
Production run-throughs

Mandatory production rehearsals are not optional.

Failure to attend required rehearsals may result in removal from a routine when necessary for safety or production integrity.

PRODUCTION EXPECTATIONS

When you join the Performance Track, you are committing to more than a weekly class.

You are joining a production team.

Students are expected to:

Arrive prepared and on time
Know assigned choreography
Practice outside of scheduled rehearsals
Apply instructor feedback
Maintain the strength and conditioning necessary for their routine
Respect rehearsal time
Communicate absences in advance
Work collaboratively with other performers
Maintain professional behavior
Take responsibility for their own preparation

The Production Is Built Around You

Performance pieces are developed throughout the season and incorporated into the larger production.

Once students commit to the Performance Track, their participation becomes part of the production planning process, including:

Choreography
Staging
Music
Spacing
Transitions
Rehearsal schedules
Technical planning
Programs
Promotional content

This is why Performance Track enrollment requires a commitment to the applicable season.

SAFETY & PERFORMANCE READINESS

Being able to perform a skill once does not necessarily mean you're ready to perform it on stage.

Before a skill is incorporated into choreography, students must demonstrate appropriate:

Strength
Control
Technique
Consistency
Spatial awareness
Apparatus familiarity
Recovery between skills
Ability to safely execute the skill under fatigue

Execution Over Difficulty

We prioritize clean, controlled, repeatable movement over difficulty for difficulty's sake.

Instructors reserve the right to modify choreography or remove a skill if it cannot be performed safely and consistently.

Students may be asked to demonstrate skills repeatedly before they are considered performance-ready.

Your most impressive skill is not necessarily the skill that belongs in your routine. The right skill is the one you can perform beautifully, consistently, and safely.

REHEARSALS & PERFORMANCE PREPARATION

As the production approaches, additional rehearsal requirements may be introduced.

These may include:

Choreography Rehearsals

Refining movement, transitions, musicality, and synchronization.

Spacing Rehearsals

Learning where performers, apparatus, and acts fit within the performance space.

Technical Rehearsals

Working with the actual production environment, including apparatus, lighting, music, staging, and other technical elements.

Dress Rehearsal

A full production rehearsal designed to prepare performers for show conditions.

Students will receive advance notice of required production rehearsals whenever possible.

PERFORMANCE SEASON REGISTRATION

Performance Track registration is separate from regular class enrollment and membership credits.

Mini Season

$150 registration fee

Full Season

$250 registration fee

The Performance Season Registration Fee helps cover the additional infrastructure and work required to produce the performance experience, including:

Photography
Videography
Performance/event insurance
Music licensing
Performance workshop development
Production coordination
Additional instructor and production time
Event logistics

Important

The Performance Season Registration Fee does not include Performance Lab sessions or technical/skills classes.

Those are enrolled in separately and may be paid for using applicable membership credits.

Membership credits may be used toward eligible Performance Lab sessions after the student has enrolled in the Performance Track.

SEASON COMMITMENT

Performance Track students must commit to either:

A Mini Season

A defined, shorter performance cycle.

The Full Performance Season

A commitment covering the complete performance season.

Once enrolled, students are expected to fulfill the attendance, rehearsal, and production commitments associated with their selected season.

If you are interested in performance but aren't ready to commit to performing, our Understudy Track may be a better fit.

The Performance Mindset

“We don't practice until we get it right; we TRAIN until we can't get it wrong.”

The Details and Differences

UNDERSTUDY TRACK

Commit to the season. Keep the stage optional.

The Understudy Track is designed for intermediate to advanced students who want to train with the performance team, develop choreography, and participate in the creative process without committing to perform in the final production.

It is ideal for students who are interested in performance but need a lighter or more exploratory commitment right now.

The key distinction

Understudy students commit to the performance season and training process — they simply do not commit to taking the stage.

This allows you to develop an act, work alongside the performance team, and build your performance skills while giving you the flexibility to decide whether performing is right for you.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

The Understudy Track may be a good fit if you:

Meet the minimum Foundations Level 1+ skill requirement
Have instructor approval
Want to develop performance skills
Want to learn choreography and work with a team
Have an act idea you'd like to explore
Want more performance experience without immediately committing to a show
Are working within limited schedule or personal bandwidth
Want to use a season to explore your readiness for future performance

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Understudies participate in the same creative environment as the Performance Track, including:

Performance Lab
Choreography development
Performance workshops
Team training
Musicality and stagecraft
Creative exploration
Act development
Rehearsal activities appropriate to the understudy role

You may develop a complete act during the season, refine an existing piece, or experiment with new choreography and movement.

The goal is to train, create, and develop without requiring you to promise that you'll take the stage.

YOUR COMMITMENT

The Understudy Track is not a drop-in option.

When you enroll, you are committing to:

The applicable mini season or full season
Performance Lab participation
The training and creative process
Attendance expectations
Team participation
Respect for rehearsal and choreography time
Applying instructor feedback
Completing work necessary to participate safely

You are not committing to perform in the final production.

Think of it this way:

Performance Track:
I am committing to the season AND to performing.

Understudy Track:
I am committing to the season, but I'm keeping the stage optional.

UNDERSTUDY ACTS & PRODUCTION PLANNING

The Understudy Track is designed specifically for students who want the performance experience and the opportunity to develop an act, but who do not want to commit to performing at the scheduled events for the season.

If you already know that you do not intend to perform this season, the Understudy Track is the appropriate pathway.

Transparency at Enrollment

We ask students to be transparent about their intentions when they enroll.

If you know that you do not have the bandwidth or desire to perform at the scheduled events, that's completely okay. The Understudy Track exists for exactly that purpose.

What the Understudy Track does not mean is:

“I will participate in Performance Lab all season, benefit from the coaching and creative development, and decide at showtime whether I'm actually participating in the production.”

The decision about your intended level of commitment should be made before enrollment, so that we can plan the season and production honestly and fairly for everyone.

WHAT UNDERSTUDIES RECEIVE

Understudy students participate in the Performance Program and benefit from:

Performance Lab
Choreography development
Performance workshops
Coaching and instructor feedback
Team training
Peer panel discussions
Creative exploration
Act development
Rehearsal and performance preparation appropriate to the track

Performance Lab participants are contributing to and benefiting from a significant creative and production process.

The Fix also invests substantial additional time and resources into each performance season, including:

Photography
Videography
Performance/event insurance
Music licensing
Workshop creation
Choreography development
Production coordination
Rehearsal planning
Event logistics

Your Performance Season registration helps support this infrastructure and the additional work required to produce the program.

UNDERSTUDY ACTS & THE FINAL PRODUCTION

Because Understudy students have not committed to performing, their acts are not automatically considered part of the official production.

Understudy acts will:

Not be built into the primary production plan
Not be guaranteed a place in the show
Not be considered when planning the official finale
Not automatically be included in the event program
Not automatically be included in promotional or marketing content

This allows us to build the production confidently around the performers who have committed to taking the stage.

But Understudies May Still Perform

If an Understudy student develops an act that is ready and later decides they would like to perform, they may still have the opportunity to perform.

That opportunity is subject to:

Act readiness
Safety and technical readiness
Available production space
Staging requirements
Rehearsal requirements
Production needs
Instructor approval

An Understudy may ultimately perform, but the production will not be planned around the assumption that they will.

PERFORMANCE TRACK VS. UNDERSTUDY TRACK

The difference is ultimately about what you are committing to when you enroll.

Performance Track

“I am committing to perform.”

You commit to the season and to preparing for the scheduled performance opportunities.

If you attend consistently, participate fully in Performance Lab, and your act comes together successfully, you may ultimately decide that you want to perform. That's expected within the Performance Track.

Your act may then be incorporated into:

The production
Finale/staging plans
The event program
Promotional materials
Marketing content

Understudy Track

“I am committing to the performance experience, but I am not committing to perform this season.”

You receive the opportunity to train, create, develop choreography, and work alongside the performance team without the expectation that your act will be included in the production.

You may still perform if an appropriate opportunity becomes available and your act is ready, but performance is not guaranteed and your act will not be planned into the production in advance.

THE SIMPLEST WAY TO THINK ABOUT IT

Performance Track:
Commit to the season + commit to performing.

Understudy Track:
Commit to the season + commit to the training process, but keep the stage optional.

The Understudy Track gives you flexibility around whether you will take the stage. It does not provide a way to participate in Performance Lab throughout the season and then make a last-minute decision about whether you're part of the production.

We ask for transparency at enrollment so we can build the best possible production for everyone involved.

PERFORMANCE READINESS

Choosing to perform is not simply a matter of deciding that you want to.

Before an Understudy act can be considered for a production, you must demonstrate that you can safely and consistently execute the material required for the act.

This may include assessment of:

Technical skill
Strength
Conditioning
Control
Consistency
Musicality
Transitions
Spatial awareness
Ability to perform while fatigued
Ability to receive and apply corrections

Your instructor may modify choreography or determine that an act is not yet ready for performance.

Safety and readiness always come before inclusion in a production.

TRAINING REQUIREMENTS

Understudy students are expected to maintain the technical training necessary to support their aerial work.

Minimum Weekly Training

1 Skills Class Per Week

Students should maintain at least one weekly skills/technique class on the apparatus they are training to perform on.

1+ Performance Lab Sessions Per Week

Performance Lab is where choreography, creative development, and team training take place.

Open Aerial — Recommended

Open Aerial is strongly recommended for independent practice, conditioning, choreography development, and skill repetition.

Additional training may be recommended based on your individual goals.

ATTENDANCE & TEAM COMMITMENT

Understudy students are expected to maintain consistent attendance and participate responsibly in the creative process.

You are expected to:

Arrive prepared and on time
Learn assigned choreography
Practice independently when needed
Communicate absences
Apply feedback
Respect rehearsal time
Contribute positively to the team environment

Because Understudies are not guaranteed placement in the final production, attendance requirements may differ from Performance Track requirements. However, consistent participation is still necessary to remain active in the program and to be considered for any performance opportunity.

PERFORMANCE SEASON REGISTRATION

The Performance Season Registration Fee is required to participate in the Understudy Track.

Mini Season

$150

Full Season

$250

The registration fee helps cover the infrastructure and additional work required to produce the performance program, including:

Photography
Videography
Performance/event insurance
Music licensing
Performance workshop development
Production coordination
Additional instructor and production time
Event logistics

The registration fee is not a fee you pay only if you decide to perform.

It covers participation in the Performance Program and the resources that support the season.

Important:

Performance Season registration is separate from class and Performance Lab credits.

Membership credits may be used toward eligible Performance Lab sessions, but only students enrolled in the Performance Program may participate in Performance Lab.

UNDERSTUDY → PERFORMANCE TRACK

An Understudy student who decides they are ready to perform may request to transition into the Performance Track.

This transition is subject to:

Instructor approval
Act readiness
Production availability
Rehearsal requirements
Performance deadlines
Any applicable production requirements

Moving into the Performance Track does not guarantee placement in a particular show.

MINI SEASON OR FULL SEASON

Choose the commitment that fits your current goals.

Mini Season

A shorter commitment designed for students who want to explore performance and develop an act within a defined performance cycle.

$150 registration fee

Full Season

A commitment to participate throughout the complete performance season.

$250 registration fee

READY TO EXPLORE PERFORMANCE?

The Understudy Track may be right for you if you're saying:

“I want to train with the team, develop something I'm proud of, and see where it takes me — but I'm not ready to promise that I'll perform.”

That's exactly what this pathway is designed for.
