INTRO TO AERIAL FABRICS & HOOP

What to expect: 

For your first ever aerial class, expect to be in class with others from different backgrounds who've never tried aerial fitness before either! This class is for EVERY BODY. No matter your gender/a-gender, body shape or size, sexuality, ethnicity, skin color, prior movement experience, you are welcome here!
 
Class will start off with a personal introduction and warm up, which includes a couple of fundamental conditioning exercises (these set you up for success later!). Next, we get acquainted with the apparatus by learning a few fun and essential moves/transitions strung together in a short routine. Class concludes with an optional freestyle and then cool down. 

Once you've taken your Intro to (insert apparatus of your choosing)  at least once, you'll start taking the 100 level classes where you'll refine what you learned in Intro and build on these skills with new moves, drops, rolls, combinations, and more! Take 100  level classes until you have worked through this level's curriculum and then test in to the 200 or higher level. It is suggested to take at least five 100 level classes before testing into Pole 200 to ensure you have the strength and understanding needed to safely advance to the next level but the amount of classes taken can vary from person to person. Keep working through the curriculum of each level and then test into the next, and you'll be flying around in no time! 

What to bring/things to note: 
 

• Please wear leggings or workout pants and a comfortable  workout top (think yoga wear).

• Please forego using lotion before class (makes your hands slippery!) and wearing any metal rings or bracelets during class.

• Bring a water bottle! The studio doesn't have a water fountain, but there is a sink for refilling water if needed.
