A unique fusion of balance, focus, language, physics, and kinetics, effects of learning students of aerial silks include strength, deepened mind-body connection, and enhanced creativity. Regular group technique classes fuse traditional skills with modern variations, and encourage authenticity in movement. Schedule is supplemented with a weekly mixed level aerial conditioning class, focusing on alignment, flexibility and strength necessary for aerial arts.
Students are guided and encouraged to develop their own home practices. It is recommended to take both aerial technique and conditioning classes in the first year of practice.
As of September 2023, our group class schedule will greatly expand due to the graduation of our teacher trainers from their training course. We will be excited to offer the classes for kids, teens, and adults, as well as classes on aerial silk, aerial sling, aerial hoop (Lyra), conditioning & flexibility.
*Skyhigh will be running on its current schedule through the Summer. Please refer to our Class Calendar.
