Class Makeup Policy

Attendance in the sessions is important. Not only does it help your strength grow but your muscle memory and understanding increases. Sickness and family emergencies do happen, as well as unpredictable Alaska weather.

I will be allowing two makeup classes per aerial class per 8 week session. To receive a makeup class an 8 hr cancellation notice must be given.

As I will only have 8 students per class, a makeup will have to be done when another student calls out, so it may be a short-notice situation.

Most importantly, please do not come to class if you're feeling sick!

These classes are a great introduction to aerial arts and to starting your own aerial practice. In class you will build upper body and core strength as well as leg and shoulder flexibility.

Aerial Silks Level 2A Skills

These classes will build onto the aerial vocabulary we learned in Level 1. We'll focus expanding on fundamental moves, and building strength for inverts in the air. We'll also learn our first flips in the silks. This stage can take as long as a student needs to meet graduation requirements. Graduation Requirements: Double Crochet Hip Key Thigh Hitch Figure 8 Ankle Hang
Aerial Silks Level 2B Sequences

This class builds on the Skills learned in Level 2A. Students solidify understanding of the skills, build endurance, and learn transitions between skills. This stage will likely last 1-2 sessions.

From chest belays to knee belays to ankle or wrist belays. Registration Requirements- must be taking or have graduated from Silks Level 2B or higher.
Aerial Silks Level 3A Skills

In this class, students will focus on vertical training and their understanding of wraps and technique on Fabric as well as build their endurance in the air. As we work with more height and layer skills, students will work on precise positioning and pathways in order to understand more complex skills and sequences.

Rope Skills Level 1

Rope is hard from the beginning. Only sign up for Rope if you've had silks experience or can do multiple pullups as well as tuck into a ball. Rope, also known as Cordelisse, is perfect for the aerialist who wants to challenge themselves. A fun minimal apparatus that is perfect for creating dynamic and dramatic swings.
Sling Skills Level 1

Aerial sling is kind of the gate-way apparatus to aerial dance. It is a low hanging hammock type set-up that is comfortable, and doesn't require the same amount of strength or coordination that aerial silks does. In this class we will explore connections to the floor traveling upwards and building up that core and arm strength needed for the other apparatuses. The sling is a great combination of the trapeze and fabric- so two times the fun!
Sling Skills Level 2

To register for Sling Level 2 students should feel comfortable inverting in the air, can create a crossback, and have the abiltity to do one pullup as well as tuck knees above navel. In Sling 2 we'll work through sequences that may contain many shapeortunities, dynamic pathways, belays, spinning, and potential to make you think hard :)
Dance Trapeze Skills Level 1

Explore the world of the horizontal apparatus with us in this fun class! Don't think of the flying trapeze where you release the bar to be caught mid-air. Dance trapeze stays close to the ground and is rigged from a single point for spinning. With the metal bar for support it is a great beginner apparatus. The ropes offer a variety of transitions and beautiful poses. The trapeze becomes a dance partner as you learn to flip and fly.
Lyra Skills Level 1

The Lyrical Hoop is a great place to start your circus journey. Learn basic mounts, create shapes, learn aerial terminology and technique without the constriction of fabric.
