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!

Intro to Aerial Silks

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. These classes focus on learning fundamental moves and the aerial vocabulary that is necessary to progress into wider aerial skill sets. Usually one 8 week session is sufficient.
Aerial Silks Level 1

These classes will build onto the aerial vocabulary we learned in Intro. 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: Eggbeater to Dancer Locks Crossback 2 min in air Among other skills
Aerial Silks Level 2

This class builds on the Skills learned in Level 1 Silks. Students learn 4 main hip wraps: Hip Key, Thigh Hitch, S-Wrap, & Fig 8 Wrap. Students work to solidify understanding of the skills, build endurance, and learn transitions between skills. Graduation Requirements: Strength/Technique: invert off the ground (i.e., from a climb); hold a finished straddle-up, 3-5 second lock-off, tuck knees above navel from a long-hang, 10 second hollow body hang, and 1 pullup. 3 min in the air. -Multiple inverts in air -Demonstrate an Understanding of what is keeping them in the air in a given skill/position, & ability to make adjustments as needed to keep safe.
Aerial Silks Level 3

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. In Rope 1 we'll be going over the 5 main wraps: Catchers, Thigh Hitch, Hip Key, Fig 8 Wrap, and S-Wrap as well as footlocks and beginning beats. Expect to invert every class!
Rope Skills Level 2

This level is where we will be working on dynamic moves like beats (including scissor beats) and bounding, and skills including S-wraps, Wheel downs, Two Knee Hangs, Straddle climb, and cartwheel (aka-bullwhip). Students will also be guided in the process of gaining a better understanding and recognition of the wraps they are in and what makes them safe. This is hard, super fun work.
Intro to Sling

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 Level 1

To register for Sling Level 1, students should feel confident in a 360 Prep, Seahorse, Open Fabric shapes and have the abiltity to invert from the ground as well as tuck knees above navel. In Sling 1 we'll work through sequences that contain a crossback straddle, tourniquet, different slides, and building up tolerance of bigger wraps.
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.
Lyra Choreography

Unlock your creativity and strength in this Lyra Choreography class! This aerial hoop session is designed for all skill levels, combining graceful movements with dynamic acrobatics on the Lyra. You'll learn how to connect tricks, spins (optional), and poses into seamless sequences, focusing on fluid transitions, musicality, and personal expression. Pre-Requisites: Ability to invert on bottom and top bar Ability to complete chin up from hang
Lyra Skills Level 2

Learn a flow of mounts, balances, poses, and terminology associated with Aerial hoop to create beautiful sequences!
Tippy Lyra

WHAT: Tippy Lyra is a hoop that is hung form opposite sides so it tips and flips!

PREREQUISITES: Previous aerial experience. Ability to safely invert from hang (i.e straddle up)

Mobility & Flexibility Class

In this much needed class we'll focus on creating more mobility in our joints while also working on active flexibility training for a specific goal. Each week the goal will change, options include: Splits, Straddle, Back and Shoulders, Pike, and Hip Extension. Active Flexibility allows you to build strength at your end range movement, increase control, and safely learn how to use your muscles to go deeper into a stretch.
Intro to Rope Dart

Do you like to fiddle with your keys on your lanyard and wanted to do more? Ever wanted to be an adventurer with your own trusty adventure tool? Or maybe your a martial artist wanting to learn a new skill? Well, I got the class for you! Aerial View now presents a class where you can learn about an ancient weapon through the combination of dance, martial arts, and your own imagination! The Rope dart is a weapon of Shaolin that teaches spatial awareness, patience, and coordination. A nifty tool that can help cross gaps, surprise your friends, and excite a crowd. Learn mechanics that would impress your friends using only a ball and string, or help you smash watermelons on outdoor adventures. We'll cover the basics like prop anatomy, slack management, turns, and shots! Get ready to explore new ways of movement and meditation hosted by Lwxp, a local clown and fire performer!
