During your first lesson, you will be shown a series of moves to assess your ability on your chosen apparatus. From there, you will be given progressions or regressions depending on your skill level. Each lesson will be tailored to you level with challenges and advancements as you grow stronger.

During your first aerial class, you will be introduced to foundational skills on the chosen apparatus in a supportive small-group environment. I will assess each student’s current ability and provide progressions or regressions so everyone can work at a level that feels both safe and appropriately challenging.

Each class is structured to allow students to build strength, technique and confidence over time, with clear pathways for advancement as skills develop. With small class sizes, every student still receives individual guidance and feedback while enjoying the motivation and community that comes from learning alongside others.

While strength is important for aerials, it's not a prerequisite to start. With dedication, patience and proper training, you can gradually build the strength and technique needed to excel. We starts with basics moves and sequences that require technique and help build strength. As you progress, you'll gradually build strength through conditioning exercises and more challenging aerial moves.

Having a background in dance or gymnastics can certainly be helpful when starting aerials, but it's not a requirement. Aerials is a unique discipline that combines elements of both dance and gymnastics, but it's also a distinct art form with its own techniques and terminology. Although having some level of physical fitness and body awareness can be beneficial when starting aerials, it is not a requirement and with the right instruction and guidance paired with a willingness to learn, an openness to trying new things, and a commitment to training and practicing regularly, anyone can learn aerials regardless of their prior experience or background.

Aerials, like any physical activity, can be challenging and demanding on your body. Pain during aerials could be a sign that you are pushing yourself too hard or attempting moves beyond your current abilities. It could also indicate a lack of proper technique or form, which can put undue stress on your body. However, pain during aerials can be just that your body is not used to the pressure that is being put on it by the apparatus. This type of pain usually diminishes as you condition your body and become stronger. As always, it is important to communicate with your aerial instructor if you are experiencing pain or discomfort during training. They can provide guidance on proper form and technique, as well as modifications or progressions to help you build strength and skill safely.
