In these 60 minute classes, you will focus on learning new skills and/or reviewing and perfecting technique. We recommend warming yourself up before the start of class. Classes include an aerial warm-up, but your personal floor warm-up will help you to execute class exercises safely. In Beginner classes, you will be given guided instruction for proper floor warm-ups.
All classes will conclude with body conditioning and/or stretching on the apparatus. Aerial classes have a maximum of 6 students to ensure sufficient time on the apparatus for each person. All Aerial classes are for ages 16 and up, but private lessons are available for younger students. Private lessons and semi-private lessons are available upon request through our office email, for more individual attention.
