Do I need any experience to start?
Not at all! Most of our students begin with zero dance, fitness, or flexibility background. Our highly trained instructors guide you through safe progressions so you build confidence and strength at your own pace.
What should I wear to class?
- Pole: Shorts + tank (skin helps with grip)
- Aerial (Lyra, Silks, Hammock, Spiral): Leggings + fitted top
- Heels: Knee pads + heels optional
Wear what helps you move comfortably and confidently.
Do I need upper-body strength or flexibility?
Nope! You’ll build both over time. Our classes are designed for real humans of all levels, not professional circus performers.
Will I feel out of place if I’m older, younger, shy, or not super confident?
Absolutely not. Our community includes students ages 7 to 60+, all body types, personalities, and backgrounds. If you’re nervous, that just means you’re growing — and we love that.
How do I know which class to start with?
If you're not sure where to begin, take our “Start Here” Quiz on the website! It will match you with the perfect beginner-friendly class based on your goals, comfort level, and curiosity.
How do your memberships and pricing work?
We offer drop-in classes, class packs, unlimited memberships, and youth aerial programs. There’s something for every schedule and budget, and we’re happy to help you choose the right fit.
Is there a weight limit for pole or aerial?
No. Our professional rigging and equipment are rated for thousands of pounds. You are safe. You are supported. You are welcome.
Can I bring a friend or book a private event?
Yes! Bring a friend to any class or book a private party for birthdays, bachelorettes, girls’ nights, corporate team building, or just a magical night out.
What ages do you serve?
We offer classes and programs for ages 7+, including adult classes, kids aerial, youth performance teams, and homeschool sessions.
What if I’m nervous, shy, or totally out of my comfort zone?
Then you’re exactly who this studio is built for. We specialize in building confidence, strength, and community—one class at a time. You don’t need to be fearless; you just need to show up.
