This class is perfect if you are curious, new to aerial arts, or if you are looking to fine-tune the basic skills and proficiency you already have. Beginner and basics classes involve work with mixed apparatuses: silks/fabric and lyra (hoop). You will leave this class with a solid foundation of basic aerial skills, a list of basic and beginning-level aerial tricks, as well as increased strength, flexibility, and grace.
Only basic and beginner tricks are taught in this class. No intermediate or advanced tricks/techniques are taught.
The classes include a warm up, strength training, conditioning tips, and stretching. You’ll learn at your own pace and interest level. Beginners will focus on proper body position, muscle usage, basic positions, and basic balances. As your strength and confidence increase, you’ll be amazed at what you are capable of doing.
It is important to wear clothing that covers the backs of your knees and under your arms. You will want a shirt that can be tucked in to give your back protection. Long stretch pants or footless tights and a tight-fitting top are suggested. Tighter fitting clothing that gives you full range of motion is best. Shorts are not recommended, and loose clothing may get in the way.
