Aerial Classes
Circus Kids 4 Week Session (All Levels)
Ages 6-15
We will work on aerial silks, lyra (aerial hoop), flexibility/pre-contortion and handstand basics. Every child is different so we will be working on skill progressions that are tailored to each individual. Complete beginners and kids with experience are welcome! Everyone will be challenged at the level they are at! This class series will be capped at 8 students. Due to Covid, we ask that kids wear masks for the duration of the class and that they wash their hands before and after. We also ask that parents stay in their cars or pick up once class are done. 10% Sibling Discount! Just DM us to get an invoice for the reduced cost.
Lyra/Aerial Hoop (All Levels)
Beginners will work on proper engagement, mounts, and on the hoop skills and transitions. Intermediate students will work on heavier conditioning, harder skills and transitions, momentum, flares, spins, and on-the-spanset moves. Everyone will be challenged at the level of strength and skill they are at. We recommend starting with Intro to Aerial or Private Lessons for 1st timers that want 1-on-1 attention to familiarize themselves with engagement, vocabulary and the apparatus before joining a class. Or jump on in!
Intro To Aerial (4 Week Workshop)
This is where we begin our aerial journey.
In this 4 week session you will be introduced to aerial engagement, common vocabulary, leg and arm positions, multidirectional leans, gentle inversions, and drills used in beginner progressions. You will be warming up alongside the Silks 1 class and then split off to work with the Intro class. After your 4 week Intro to Aerial orientation you'll be allowed to join the Silks 1 and Lyra class.
Silks 1
** Complete Beginners must sign up for the Intro To Aerial 4 Week Workshop before joining Silks 1. Its under "Workshops" instead of "Classes" **
As featured in KY3, KOLR10 & 417 Magazine, Aerial Silks is the coolest fitness class in town! In Level 1 we focus on conditioning on the ground and in the air, develop flexibility, build overall body strength and lay the foundation to become an aerial dancer! We explore basic climbs, foot locks, hip keys, and other foundational skills that will train us to move our body in the air with control, strength and confidence.
Don't worry, all skills are taught close to the ground. No upper body strength, flexibility or coordination is required. We will develop that together! You should expect to be in this class for several months until you get instructor approval to transition to Silks 2.
Silks 2/3
Climbs, gemini, triangle wrap, s-wrap, z wrap, momentum, belays, drops and progressions for all will be explored according to each person's level. Aerial theory, friction management, creative transitioning, sequence creation, choreographic exploration, and mastery of aerial content of all levels.
Prereqs: Must have a solid climb, hip key and footlocks in the air. Must be ready to train invert climbs.
OPTIONAL Silk Rental Fee:
A $20/mo silk rental fee can be charged in person in your first class if you want to have your own silk for class. Your silk can be shared with your friends or family. Please sign up ahead of time to give instructor time to rig your silks. Silk availability is not guaranteed and 7 rig points are 1st come, 1st served.

Ground Classes
Active Flexibility w/ Mar (Online & In Studio)
Train flexibility safely! We begin with a full warm-up, mobility tool work, & finish with a flexibility routine targeting specific areas. We utilize active drills to strengthen muscles and increase flexibility. The instructor gives modifications for different experience levels and bodies. We believe in adjusting movements to YOUR body and where it currently is! Come as you are! -This class is taught in-person at the studio, AND online via Facebook Live for those who prefer to practice at home or cannot make time slot. Please message us to be added to the private group. You must reserve your spot online if you plan to attend in person.
***REQUIREMENTS: You must bring yoga blocks, a theraband, and a lacrosse ball or peanut to class. Without these tools, you will not be able to participate. We do not provide them because we cannot properly disinfect them without damaging their materials.
Conditioning for Aerial & Pole
Level up your strength, protect your body! We will be using body weight exercises, dumbbells, resistance bands, poles, stall bars and aerial apparatuses to strengthen and condition our bodies for progression and longevity. This will be run as a circuit training class.
