Aerial Pole

Beginner Aerial Pole
In this introductory class you’ll learn how to transfer your stationary pole skills to aerial pole. We’ll drill strategies to control the spin and orbit of the apparatus while mounting and exiting, climbing, inverting, and through holds and transitions. We'll condition strength and spin tolerance to develop a foundation for all your aerial pole goals.
Requirements: (From standard pole) comfortable standard climb and some spin pole experience. Wear tight-fitting athletic wear to prevent slipping; long leggings will help prevent pole burn but you may prefer shorts.

Aerial Pole Flow
In this class, you'll take your stationary pole skills and transfer them to aerial pole to create a beautiful flowing sequence to a piece of music. We will utilize pole tricks (with variations for different levels), hand loop, and play with spinning, orbiting, and pendulum swings. This class is for the pole dancer who wants to combine the worlds of musicality, pole tricks, and aerial arts. Think "pole choreography", but in the air!
Optional: Wear socks to help with sliding or "skating" on the floor!
