Inside the class

What a class actually looks like

Every Aerial class follows the same four-part shape, so you always know what you are walking into.

  1. 1

    Warmup and pull strength

    Shoulder prep and pulling conditioning on the ground before anyone leaves the floor.

  2. 2

    Climbs and footlocks

    The foundation of everything on silks, drilled until the technique is efficient rather than exhausting.

  3. 3

    Wraps and inversions

    New wraps and inverted shapes each session, taught low and spotted before they are taken up high.

  4. 4

    Sequencing and stretch

    Linking skills into a short sequence, then stretching for shoulders, back and hamstrings.

Questions

Aerial FAQs

Do I need to be strong to start aerial?

No. Level 1 builds the strength you need. Consistency matters far more than starting strength.

How do I move to Level 2?

Level 2 is by instructor permission once your climbs, inversions and endurance are solid.
