Aerial Dance Chicago

4028 W Irving Park Road, Chicago, IL

Silks, Hammock

Registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit operating as both a performance company and a school, running 25 years (own-site 25th-anniversary logo). Own-site content lists "aerial fabric," "sling dance," and adult + youth ballet; "aerial fabric" is mapped here to this dataset's existing "silks" tag (fabric is another name for the same apparatus) and "sling dance" to the existing "hammock/sling" tag, rather than inventing new discipline strings. Ballet is not tagged since no disciplines[] value covers classical dance styles; recorded here in notes instead. No pole specifically named on the fetched pages, so this row carries no pole tag. Evidence of current operation: current registration links for Beginning Fabric, Sling Dance and Adult Beginning Ballet classes; active Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Bluesky links confirmed present on the own site (specific handles not captured this pass). No named live booking platform found (own-site registration only), so status stays unverified per the NC/NJ status rule. Confirmed via direct WebFetch of the studio's own site, not in il.json before this addition (grepped zero matches). Sits roughly half a mile from Chicago Aerial Arts (4321 N Knox Ave) at a genuinely separate address; not a duplicate. Fits the 2026-08-08 aerial-in-scope superset decision; added 2026-08-16 once the validator's pole-only floor was loosened to accept it (Anh's go, decision pack #6).
