🎯 From Pole to Aerial: A Natural Next Step
Already training on the pole? You’ll feel right at home here.
Both pole and aerial arts build strength, control, and creative movement—often using similar muscles and sequencing patterns in vertical space. Aerial silks classes and trapeze classes offer a new challenge that complements your pole training, helping you expand grip strength, body awareness, and fluidity in a fresh environment.
Many of our adult students are current or former pole artists. If you’re looking to broaden your movement vocabulary, cross-train with something exciting, or just try a new vertical apparatus, our Beginner Aerial class is a welcoming next step.
💡 Not sure where to start? Most pole artists begin in Beginner Aerial and love the creative challenge it brings. Our team can help you find the right fit based on your background.

Have Questions?
We’ve Got You Covered
No experience required! Beginner Aerial is designed for first-timers—you’ll learn silks and trapeze basics step-by-step with a certified instructor.
Classes start with a guided warm-up, then you’ll practice climbs, wraps, and simple poses on silks or trapeze, finishing with a cool-down and stretching. Expect a fun, supportive vibe.
It’s challenging in the best way—moves are broken down into achievable progressions, so you build strength and confidence at your own pace.
Absolutely. Many students come in with zero upper-body strength or flexibility; the class itself builds both over time.
Fitted athletic clothing, no jewelry, and bare feet work best for safety and comfort.
Yes—each session combines cardio bursts with full-body strength and core engagement, burning calories while improving coordination.
Silks use long fabrics you climb and wrap; trapeze uses a steel bar suspended by ropes. In Beginner Aerial you’ll sample both to see which you love.
You can enroll online through our Mindbody system. Start with a six-week session or try a trial $15 drop-in.
