These classes are a great introduction to aerial arts and to starting your own aerial practice. In class you will build upper body and core strength as well as leg and shoulder flexibility. These classes focus on learning fundamental moves and the aerial vocabulary that is necessary to progress into wider aerial skill sets. Usually one 8 week session is sufficient.

These classes will build onto the aerial vocabulary we learned in Intro. We'll focus expanding on fundamental moves, and building strength for inverts in the air. We'll also learn our first flips in the silks. This stage can take as long as a student needs to meet graduation requirements. Graduation Requirements: Eggbeater to Dancer Locks Crossback 2 min in air Among other skills

This class builds on the Skills learned in Level 1 Silks. Students learn 4 main hip wraps: Hip Key, Thigh Hitch, S-Wrap, & Fig 8 Wrap. Students work to solidify understanding of the skills, build endurance, and learn transitions between skills. Graduation Requirements: Strength/Technique: invert off the ground (i.e., from a climb); hold a finished straddle-up, 3-5 second lock-off, tuck knees above navel from a long-hang, 10 second hollow body hang, and 1 pullup. 3 min in the air. -Multiple inverts in air -Demonstrate an Understanding of what is keeping them in the air in a given skill/position, & ability to make adjustments as needed to keep safe.

In this class, students will focus on vertical training and their understanding of wraps and technique on Fabric as well as build their endurance in the air. As we work with more height and layer skills, students will work on precise positioning and pathways in order to understand more complex skills and sequences.

Rope is hard from the beginning. Only sign up for Rope if you've had silks experience or can do multiple pullups as well as tuck into a ball. Rope, also known as Cordelisse, is perfect for the aerialist who wants to challenge themselves. A fun minimal apparatus that is perfect for creating dynamic and dramatic swings. In Rope 1 we'll be going over the 5 main wraps: Catchers, Thigh Hitch, Hip Key, Fig 8 Wrap, and S-Wrap as well as footlocks and beginning beats. Expect to invert every class!

This level is where we will be working on dynamic moves like beats (including scissor beats) and bounding, and skills including S-wraps, Wheel downs, Two Knee Hangs, Straddle climb, and cartwheel (aka-bullwhip). Students will also be guided in the process of gaining a better understanding and recognition of the wraps they are in and what makes them safe. This is hard, super fun work.

Aerial sling is kind of the gate-way apparatus to aerial dance. It is a low hanging hammock type set-up that is comfortable, and doesn't require the same amount of strength or coordination that aerial silks does. In this class we will explore connections to the floor traveling upwards and building up that core and arm strength needed for the other apparatuses. The sling is a great combination of the trapeze and fabric- so two times the fun!

To register for Sling Level 1, students should feel confident in a 360 Prep, Seahorse, Open Fabric shapes and have the abiltity to invert from the ground as well as tuck knees above navel. In Sling 1 we'll work through sequences that contain a crossback straddle, tourniquet, different slides, and building up tolerance of bigger wraps.

To register for Sling Level 2 students should be working on inverting in the air, can create a crossback, and have the abiltity to do one pullup as well as tuck knees above navel. In Sling 2 we'll work through sequences that may contain many shapeortunities, dynamic pathways, belays, spinning, and potential to make you think hard :)

To register for Sling Level 3 students should be comfortable inverting in the air, knowledge of basic beats, and have tolerance to cinchy wraps. In Sling 3 we'll work through sequences that may contain many shapeortunities, dynamic pathways, belays, spinning, and potential to make you think hard :)

Explore the world of the horizontal apparatus with us in this fun class! Don't think of the flying trapeze where you release the bar to be caught mid-air. Dance trapeze stays close to the ground and is rigged from a single point for spinning. With the metal bar for support it is a great beginner apparatus. The ropes offer a variety of transitions and beautiful poses. The trapeze becomes a dance partner as you learn to flip and fly.

The Lyrical Hoop is a great place to start your circus journey. Learn basic mounts, create shapes, learn aerial terminology and technique without the constriction of fabric.

Unlock your creativity and strength in this Lyra Choreography class! This aerial hoop session is designed for all skill levels, combining graceful movements with dynamic acrobatics on the Lyra. You'll learn how to connect tricks, spins (optional), and poses into seamless sequences, focusing on fluid transitions, musicality, and personal expression.  Pre-Requisites: Ability to invert on bottom and top bar Ability to complete chin up from hang

Learn a flow of mounts, balances, poses, and terminology associated with Aerial hoop to create beautiful sequences!

WHAT: Tippy Lyra is a hoop that is hung form opposite sides so it tips and flips! Tippy lyra is a fun and challenging spin on the classic lyra, and in this session you will learn the basic flips, splits, and dynamics to get you started on your own tippy lyra exploration. PREREQUISITES: Previous aerial experience. Ability to safely invert from hang (i.e straddle up)

WHAT: Strap Loops are a pair of suspended loops. In this session you will learn the basic flips, splits, and dynamics to get you started on your own Strap Loop Exploration PREREQUISITES: Previous aerial experience. Ability to safely invert from hang (i.e straddle up)

Learn Basics and a fun combo on Aerial Sling, Lyra, Trapeze, and Silks. Each class will be taught on a different apparatus. Get to know them all and then focus on your favorite!!

A class to help you create your next routine on any apparatus. Kendell will help you develop your act, create character and purpose, and stylize your routine. Then practice your routine through open gym at no extra cost. A great way to prepare for the Recital!!

A great place to practice your skills and sequences at your own pace under the watchful eyes of a coach. Open Gym is for Aerial View students only.

In this much needed class we'll focus on creating more mobility in our joints while also working on active flexibility training for a specific goal. Each week the goal will change, options include: Splits, Straddle, Back and Shoulders, Pike, and Hip Extension. Active Flexibility allows you to build strength at your end range movement, increase control, and safely learn how to use your muscles to go deeper into a stretch.

Do you like to fiddle with your keys on your lanyard and wanted to do more? Ever wanted to be an adventurer with your own trusty adventure tool?
