Intro to Aerial Series

For those who have never taken an aerial class.  This class is designed to take all the intimidation out of trying an aerial class — but still deliver all of the fun!

We will learn basic positions on aerial hoop, aerial silks, or trapeze and get feel for each of the different apparatus.  On aerial hoop, we will learn a “Delilah mount” and practice standing, sitting, balancing, and hanging on the hoop. On the silks, we will learn to wrap the fabric around our feet and stand on it.  We will also work with silks tied in a knot for supported inversions. On the trapeze, we work to reach toes to the bar and pullup to sit on the trapeze.  Then we learn fundamental moves like mermaid and gazelle.
