FOR UPSIDE AERIAL STUDENTS & PERFORMERS:
We work hard to provide opportunities for our students to perform for live audiences and connect with each other outside the studio! We encourage ALL Upsiders to attend this festival and cheer on our performers! If you are not performing, RSVP to let us know you're coming or if you can help us with setup and breakdown. If you'd like to perform, you should:
