The pricing for Aerial Arts Society events is structured to ensure a high-quality, safe, and professional experience for both performers and attendees.  

Here's a breakdown of why we price the way we do:

 

Venue Selection:

We go to great lengths to secure pristine, iconic theatres as venues. These locations are not only visually stunning but also provide the necessary space and infrastructure to safely accommodate aerial performances. Booking these venues comes with a significant cost, but we believe the atmosphere they create is integral to the experience we want to offer. 

 

Judges and Experts:

We handpick and invite judges who are experts in the field. Their time and expertise are compensated at a competitive rate. We want to ensure that every performer receives feedback from experienced professionals who can offer valuable insights, which adds to the overall integrity and value of the event. 

 

Rigging and Safety:

Aerial arts requires high-level safety standards, especially with regard to the rigging and truss systems. We pay top dollar for these systems and hire highly skilled riggers to ensure everything is set up and secured properly. Safety is always our top priority, and this commitment to the highest standards in rigging and equipment ensures the wellbeing of our performers, which is something we won't compromise on. 

 

Full-Day Experience:

This extended schedule ensures that each performer has adequate time to prepare, and it allows us to accommodate everyone in a way that minimizes stress and maximizes the experience. 

Youth performers also benefit from a full day of exposure to the community, providing a platform for them to grow, learn, and be inspired. These events are often a milestone in their training and artistic journey, so it's important that we provide an environment that encourages learning, growth, and inspiration. 

 

Prize Money: We offer a substantial $1,000 prize for the pro adult winner because we want to honor the hard work and dedication it takes to reach a professional level. The prize money helps elevate the status of the competition and encourages excellence in the field. 

 

Overall Experience: Beyond the performance and competition, we aim to create an event that’s inspiring for everyone involved. From the performers to the audience, we want everyone to walk away feeling motivated and uplifted. The combination of a world-class venue, top-tier safety, inspiring judges, and a focus on both the professional and youth communities all contribute to making the event memorable and meaningful. In short, the pricing reflects the high standards we hold ourselves to in every aspect of the event. We want to ensure that every participant and attendee has an exceptional experience, which requires investing in the best possible resources. The pricing helps us maintain that level of excellence.
