Classes are one hour long starting with a warmup, then learning tricks, spins, climbs, combinations and transitions along with conditioning exercises to help you build the strength needed to progress.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

  • For Pole Classes:
    • Shorts are best, as your skin grips the pole (fabric will make you slip).
    • A sports top or vest is ideal.
    • If you’re not comfortable wearing shorts at first, leggings are fine for the initial lessons.
  • For Aerial Classes:
    • Wear fitted gym wear that covers your legs (such as leggings).
    • Avoid loose clothing, as it can get caught on the apparatus. Covering your skin also helps prevent burns during practice.
