Specialty Classes

Hammock

Aerial Silks

Come climb the silk, a piece of fabric suspended in the air! Students learn the basic climb, simple moves and eventually wraps that allow them to perform impressive –yet safe - drops! Great for building upper-body and core strength! 

Straps

Two nylon straps with hand loops that students use to roll up, spin and swing on, straps is an act that both incredibly fun as well as a great upper body work-out! Come suspend yourself in the air and build some great muscles as you learn the aerial straps!

Aerial Hoop

Learn trapeze-like movements on a large metal hoop suspended in the air. Similar to trapeze, but with the option for students to spin and swing!

Trapeze

An act where students learn a wide range of movements including poses, hangs and balances on the trapeze bar and in the ropes of the trapeze. Learn the basic moves by yourself on the solo trapeze, or practice working with partners on the triple trapeze!
