CLASS DESCRIPTIONS & TIMES: (scroll down for pricing, instructor bio, FAQs, and contact info)
Beginner Lyra- Learn to move and flow on an aerial hoop! This class is for anyone who has never done aerials before, or has never tried aerial hoop before. No strength or flexibility required.
Lyra- All levels! We will learn everything from moves to rolls and drops, to flow and improv. Due to small class size I can work with you where you are. Learn new skills or come with something you would like to work on.
Beginner Silks- for anyone who has never done aerials before, or has never tried aerial fabric before. No strength or flexibility required.
Silks- Beginner through early advanced! We will learn sequences, conditioning, and climbs. Due to small class size I can work with you where you are.
Trapeze- dance/ static/ swing trapeze. This is where bar apparatus meets ropes! Have fun learning sequences and moves while adding spinning and swinging. Some aerial experience required- must be able to mount (side mount is fine).
Aerial Moon- apply your Lyra skills to a crescent moon! Make beautiful shapes and learn some choreo. Some aerial experience required- must be able to mount.
Aerial Sling/ Hammock- like silks, but friendlier! Come learn how to invert and roll your way to the top- and maybe even drop your way back down!
Lyra Conditioning- a combination of ground conditioning and conditioning moves on the Lyra, followed by flexibility. A strong focus on technique. No experience required, we will work where you are!
Silks Conditioning- a combination of ground conditioning and conditioning moves and climbs on the Silks, followed by flexibility. A strong focus on technique. No experience required, we will work where you are!
Floor Conditioning- using your own body weight and the floor, we will do exercises that help you perform in the air.
Floor Flexibility- we will work on active flexibility to help you perfect those moves in the air!
Mini Hoop- a much smaller Lyra! The point is not to get in it- it’s what you can do under and above. Spin technique will be worked at the end of class.

Private lessons are available and cost $50 for an hour. These are lessons scheduled outside my normal class hours. You can choose to bring a friend or two, the price stays the same. Contact for scheduling.
Aerial classes will be held on the outdoor rig, unless there is inclement weather (rain, snow, way too hot, way too cold), then class will be moved to the garage rig.
The rigs are insured and equipment is inspected and replaced frequently. A waiver will need to be signed and kept on file.
