FlyCo is A-WOL’s adult pre-professional training company which started in 2012. FlyCo students train, dance and perform together. It is a unique program that offers training with a host of performance opportunities throughout the year. Many of our FlyCo members feed directly into our Circus Rose and Company members.


Each week FlyCo comes together for full group rehearsals which will include aerial technique classes, conditioning, flexibility training, dance, physical theater, ground acrobatics, and show creation. The schedule* is as follows:

Mondays 6:00-9:00pm (aerial technique class)

Wednesdays 6:00-8:00pm (aerial choreography class)

Thursdays 6:30-9:00pm (aerial technique class)

Sundays 10:00am-1:00pm (aerial choreography class)

*schedule is subject to change slightly from year to year to better fit the training times available in the cohort.

FlyCo has performance opportunities each year, they typically perform next to the Aeros, A-WOL’s youth performance training company, Circus Rose & Company members. Potential performance opportunities for 2025/26 include:

Winter Gala (December 13, 2025)

Adult Aerial Student Showcase (Mid May 2026)

Open Air Show (June 7 & 8 OR June 13 & 14, 2026)

Solo Soiree (June 27, 2026)

To supplement our usual training routine, we will also offer special workshops like injury prevention, building your choreography toolbox, stage make-up application, audition prep, self-promotion and marketing and many more.

In addition to our FlyCo group rehearsals, each member will have access to our virtual offerings of flexibility, dance, conditioning, and special guest classes. The students also attend open gym times to hone the skills they are learning in class. There are several tuition options, as well as add-ons for even more independent training times so that you can up your intensity if you're ready for more.
