Aerial Conditioning
Conditioning and strength training is essential. If you're new to aerial this is a great class for building strength for climbing silks and lyra mounts. Conditioning is important for injury prevention so you can enjoy aerial for years to come. All levels are welcome. This class will work on strengthening all parts of the body including arms, legs and core. Silks and lyra will be used for endurance, strength exercises and drills. Bring a towel and plenty of water because you are going to sweat!
Requirements
All levels are welcome. This class is strongly suggested for intro aerial students.
Lyra/Aerial Hoop
Lyra also known as aerial hoop is a steel hoop that can be suspended in the air various ways (single point, double tab, tabless, choked with a span set). It is a traditional cirque apparatus that is often seen in Las Vegas circus shows and big tops around the world. In this class you will learn various skills, combos, mounts, spins and safety protocols associated with this graceful yet powerful aerial apparatus.
Requirements Intro/Beginner
Aerial Conditioning strongly recommended.
Requirements Intermediate/Advanced
Must be able to V Up, Pull Over, Single knee hangs, Single hand hangs and Tap Ups.
Aerial Silks/Tissu
Aerial silks or aerial tissu is a fabric apparatus consisting of one piece of fabric hanging from it’s center point. Thus creating two pieces of fabric to climb, wrap and drop from. Beginner and intermediate silks are often 25ft with little to no stretch in the fabric. While professional stage shows can use silks of 40ft or longer with extreme stretch in the fabric. Students will learn, climbs, wraps, drops (advanced) as well as safety protocols. Expect a lot of climbing with this beautiful and popular apparatus.
Requirements Intro/Beginner
Aerial Conditioning strongly recommended.
Requirements Intermediate
Must be able to V Up, Russian Climb, French Climb and Foot Lock.
Aerial Hammock/Sling
Aerial hammock or aerial sling could be considered a cousin to aerial silks. It’s made of the same fabric and suspended from both ends of the fabric creating a sling. There is less climbing involved but an overlap in skills you might do on silks. This class is great for students new to aerial or wanting to try aerial for the first time.
Requirements Intro/Beginner
Aerial Conditioning strongly recommended.
Requirements Intermediate
Must be able to V Up & Pull Over.
Open Gym
Open gym is free time in the gym where students can practice skills they've learned in class. While there is always an instructor present to supervise they will not be teaching or spotting. Students should not be attempting new skills or skills they're unsure of during this time.
Requirements
Sign up for each individual hour you wish to train BEFORE you arrive. You may bring your own equipment.
Private Lessons
Private lessons give you individualized training that best suits you as a student. While there is a noticeable price difference it's worth noting you're able to learn more in an hour private lesson versus a regular group class. Private lessons are great for those who are serious about aerial and want to take their aerial journey to the next level.
Requirements
Please contact us before you book so we can do a consultation and create a lesson plan that's right for you!
