A great way to jump into aerial arts for all movers! In this Beginner Aerial Sling class, we will explore ways to move in and out of poses that are suitable to all flyers. The Sling creates a natural seat for the Aerialist, allowing weight to be supported more evenly, and movements learned faster. We begin with a basic warm-up and conditioning in order prepare us to fly safely and comfortably in the aerial sling. Students will leave the class with a new set of sling skills and a knowledge of various mounts and dismounts and an understanding how to create sequences and dance with the sling. This class is fun for anyone interested in dancing in the air!

  • * No experience necessary
  • Tight fitting tops and bottoms that cover the backs of the knees and underarms, such as leggings and t-shirts or long sleeved shirts. It is very important that the clothes do not have zippers or buttons on them to protect the equipment and everyone's safety.
