Aerial Arts Studio Damaged By Fire

We are saddened to inform our students and supporters that our beloved Aerial Arts of Utah Studio sustained extensive and irreparable fire damage yesterday as a devastating fire burned a construction site to the ground directly behind us. We are so grateful for the miracle that no one was seriously injured. Our future is uncertain, but we are certain that we are strong, dedicated, and resilient- and will move forward with that spirit.

We are asking our community for help and have created a donation fund to secure a new space as soon as possible!  We made it through Covid-19 closures last year and are confident we can do it again!

March/April 2021, Covid-19 guidelines

Thanks to all our students and staff for supporting AAofU during this challenging time!  As a result, we’ve managed to not just stay open, but to thrive!   Smaller classes have provided a more personal approach to aerial instruction,  like a semi-private class- an unintended happy consequence of the times!

COVID-19 Update–  As coronavirus restrictions begin to relax and the statewide mask mandate in Utah is scheduled to be lifted on April 10,  we want to reiterate for you our continued approach to keeping students and staff safe.   For now, we will continue to follow The Center for Disease Control  (CDC) guidelines and will maintain our current Covid-19 safety procedures, including the wearing of masks.  

~From the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)  Guidance for Gyms and Public Places. (posted March 8)
“Risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection during public social activities such as dining indoors at a restaurant or going to the gym is lower for fully vaccinated people. However, precautions should still be taken as transmission risk in these settings is higher and likely increases with the number of unvaccinated people present. Thus, fully vaccinated people engaging in social activities in public settings should continue to follow all guidance for these settings including wearing a well-fitted mask, maintaining physical distance (at least 6 feet), avoiding crowds, avoiding poorly ventilated spaces, covering coughs and sneezes, and washing hands frequently. “
