High Flying Fun!

Aerial silks (also called aerial fabric) is a special strength-tested fabric that hangs in two long tails from a single rig point at the ceiling. In aerial silks classes, you will learn how to climb, invert on the fabric, create beautiful shapes and wraps, and eventually, as you progress, learn dramatic drops, dives, and flips in the air.

Levels offered: Beginner 1, Beginner  2, Intermediate 1, Intermediate 2, Intermediate 3

Static trapeze is a steel bar connected to either one or two points at the ceiling by two ropes. It’s a classic circus apparatus made popular in old-time circuses. In trapeze classes, you’ll learn various skills and movements below and on the bar and, as you progress, above the bar and in the ropes.

Levels offered: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced

Aerial hoop (also called Lyra) is a steel circle connected by one point to the ceiling. It is a classic and beautiful circus apparatus that can create a type of frame around the performer. In aerial hoop classes you’ll learn a variety of ways to get on and off the apparatus, postures and transitions inside, below, and eventually, above and around the outside of the hoop, as well as spinning techniques.

Levels offered: Beginner 1, Beginner 2, Intermediate 1, Intermediate 2

Aerial Sling (also called Hammock) is the same material as Aerial Silks but rigged so that a loop is created instead of two tails. In aerial sling classes, you will learn various ways to mount and dismount the apparatus as well as how to invert and support yourself on the fabric. As you progress, you’ll learn dramatic drops and dives.

Levels offered: Beginner 1, Beginner 2
