An aerialist is a performer who uses their athleticism to perform acrobatics high above the ground using different apparatuses such as silks, hoops, and slings.
On average, hiring a professional aerialist can cost anywhere between $500-$900. The exact price will vary depending on your location, the length of the performance, the number of performers, and their skill level. Aerial performing has an inherent degree of danger to it, so remember to ask your aerialist about liability insurance and performance area requirements.
Aerial artists will be able to provide a portable rig on which they perform. If the performance will take place inside most rigs require a minimum ceiling height of 20ft. An outdoor performance will require a fairly level area of at least 20x20ft.
Professional aerialists can offer a handful of different performance options. Typical acts range from aerial silks, aerial hoop or lyra, aerial sling, stilt walkers, trapeze artists, and other circus acts. Some even offer aerial bartending. Make sure to discuss which option would be best for your event when booking an aerialist.
Aerialists are the perfect addition to any festival, prom, or private party. An aerialist performance can add excitement to a corporate function, wedding reception, or fundraiser especially ones that are circus themed. If you’re looking for entertainment that will make guests’ jaws drop then booking an aerialist for a professional performance may be the way to go.
Professional aerialists can typically prepare a solo or group act, but keep in mind the performance space requirements. They can provide a spectacular show or ambient background entertainment depending on the type of event, and can curate personalized performances based on your event theme including costumes and music. And don’t forget to inquire about aerial bartending to add an extra sparkle to your event.
Most aerialists are booked for one hour. However, they are usually flexible and able to customize their performance based on your event.
Depending on what would suit the occasion best, your aerialist can perform once, a few times, or even continuously in the background. Make sure to discuss your expectations ahead of time with your aerialist and allow them time to rest throughout the event.
