Aloft Youth Ensemble

AYE is a performance program for intermediate and advanced kids aged 12-18. Typically, these students are familiar with both bar and vertical apparatuses and have been in our Intermediate level for at least one year. AYE meets 2-3 times weekly during the school year and offers performance focused instruction, ensemble work, and leadership opportunities. AYE's yearlong (September - May) program offers multiple performance opportunities throughout the year and concludes in a final full-length contemporary show. Past shows include "Somewhere Out There" (2023) and "All in Good Time" (2024). The 2025 show is about a celebration of the beauty of nature's cycle, "From the Ground, Up", May 30, 31, June 1 2025.
