The article considers the importance of classical training for children engaged in aerial acrobatics. The aim of the study is to determine the importance of the application of classical exercises in preparation for the performances of performers in aerial acrobatics. To do this, the tasks were set: to analyze the available publications on this topic, to conduct pedagogical observation on the basis of the School of Aerial Acrobatics Chocolate, to develop a program of classical exercise to prepare children engaged in aerial acrobatics. Results. Thanks to the research, we were able to test the effectiveness of classical dance classes in preparation for the performances of performers in aerial silks. Conclusions. Classical exercises plays an important role in the preparation of children of primary school age, who are engaged in aerial silks, because it forms in them a sense of posture and angles, helps to learn basic movements in preparation for performances, which are part of each acrobatic performance. Due to the development of such areas as aerial silks acrobatics, rings and pylon sports. There is an important question of technical training of executors of these directions. Because these areas include choreographic elements in the approaches to the silks and the performance of the elements in the correct positions and angles. That is why the question of using classical exercise in preparation for performances in aerial acrobatics has become relevant. The issues of choreographic training in technical and aesthetic sports were considered by such scientists as Sosina V.U.(2009), Todorova V.G.(2018), and others. They considered the possibility of choreographic training for performers, which improved the level of their performing skills. The method of performing classical pas is considered in detail in the works of Tsvetkova L.U. (2007) and others.
