Pole and Aerial fitness Classes for Everyone

Our classes are designed for all fitness levels, from beginners to advanced students.

Absolute Beginner and Beginner: Start here! For the first time ever, the first time back after an absence, anyone looking to work on and clean up their foundation skills is welcome to take any aerial class that includes "beginner," "absolute beginner," or "all levels welcome" in the title or description. "Absolute Beginner" classes have a more gentle pace and take a deeper dive into mastering foundational aerial skills.

Advanced Beginner: After at least 8 classes, you are ready to try Advanced Beginner classes. For pole classes, you should feel comfortable with walks, dips/illusions, pirouettes, 3-4 spins, pole stands, crunches, and sits. This type of class is a big category that includes a lot of conditioning to develop strength and learn basic inversions and aerial skills, so you are highly encouraged to keep this in your schedule permanently!

Intermediate: Once you are comfortable with pole climbing, combining a few spins, connecting poses/positions on the pole, and freestyling with a few elements of aerial, base, and floorwork, Intermediate is where you will go to master inversions and longer aerial sequences. All the inversions begin here. 

Advanced: After you confidently have a few different inverts on both sides from the ground and in the air in your toolbox, as well as comfort working with mixed sequences of skills and choreography, you are ready to hang out in Advanced classes!

Class Highlights:

1. Skill Expansion: Master 2-handed spins, lifts, and foundational movements around the pole. Dive into pole climbs, leg hooks and hangs, and essential floor work basics.
2. Preparation for Advancement: Focus on preparing for inversions while refining base work and developing the skills necessary for more intricate movements.
