A huge misconception is that you need to be a gymnast, or a dancer, or an athlete, or someone who is at the gym 5 days a week to participate in aerial arts.  Our lower ceiling heights, various class offerings, and our fabric with a loop offers students of all ages and fitness levels the opportunity to reach their fitness goals in a unique, fun way. 

At the minimum, leggings and a tank top should be worn.  Bring a t-shirt for moves that may lead to fabric burn or pinching of the skin.  For safety, grippy socks or bare feet are recommended.  Hair that is shoulder length or longer should be worn up and away from the face.  Please avoid lotions, hair gels, and perfumes prior to class.  All jewelry should be removed.

Introduction
Intro is offered for hip height hammock and low (calf height) hammock.  Learn the foundational wraps/poses while focusing on safety and comfort.  Two or three intro classes are recommended prior to attending any other hammock class.

Mixed Level 1 & 2
Mixed level is offered for hip height hammock and low hammock. Use the intro foundational skills as building blocks to pose variations.  Transitions are introduced which allow for poses to be joined together into 2 to 3 pose flows.  

Level 2 Hip Height
Flips and tricks are introduced, along with longer flows.  Must be able to self spot and be familiar with the studio’s vocabulary.

Level 3 Hip Height
While holding your own body weight, more complex and challenging tricks, flips, wraps, and flows are introduced.

Double Hammock
Double the fun!  One person, two hammocks.  Offered for low hammock and hip height hammock.  Prerequisite: Mixed Level 1 & 2 with 6 months experience at that level and all higher levels.

Aerial Stretch & Stability 
Stretch is offered for hip height hammock and low hammock. 

Aerial Strong
Strength and conditioning will help take your aerial skills to the next level, by not only building strength, but also by improving flexibility, balance, and endurance inside and outside of the hammock.  This boot camp style class is guaranteed to get your heart rate up with short bursts of cardio; increase your strength for improved stability to joints and quality of movement, all while incorporating dynamic and deep stretching to improve overall mobility and reduce risk for injury.

Eight is the recommended age to begin aerial hammock classes.  However, as each child is unique in their ability to follow group instruction, that minimum age is a suggestion, and exceptions can be discussed by contacting the studio.  Children are welcome in any aerial hammock class, but there are specialty classes on the schedule just for the 8 to 12 age range.  Parents are welcome to assist their child in class.  

Hammocks accommodate up to 275 pounds for Aerial Stretch & Stability and Intro to Hip Height Hammock.  250 pound limitation for all other hammock classes. Refer to waiver for additional information.
