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.
Eve’s first foray into dance was at age 3 in YMCA ballet. They were kicked out of the class for their inability to follow directions. But with a couple more years under their belt, they rejoined dance classes at age 5 and haven’t really stopped since.
With a background in competitive dance and cheerleading, Eve found aerial when they moved to Colorado in 2017. While they’ve enjoyed and dabbled in many aerial apparatuses, lyra is their favorite! Eve performs regularly at The Clocktower Cabaret where they fly high in a wide variety of aerial acts in shows such as Unleashed (produced by Marguerite!) and Dare to Be Sexy: A Weird Al Burlesque Tribute.
