In this class, we will cover the foundational techniques of pole dancing, enabling you to master beginner tricks and seamless transitions on the pole. You’ll also explore low-flow choreography, linking movements together to create a fluid and well-rounded routine.
To note:
1) Please wear as little clothing as possible as our skin is what helps us to stick on this apparatus. Short shorts and sports bras recommended.
2) Avoid moisturizing your body the day of your class please, this will make it harder to do the movements. The drier the skin the better!!!

Silk Hammock 5 Week Series – Level 1
Not ready for an 8 week commitment? But you’re ready to build more skills than intro or drop-in? Then this series is for you!
In this 5 week series, we’ll focus on deepening your aerial foundation — building strength, fluidity, and confidence in the silk hammock. You’ll learn new mounts, transitions, and poses that expand on skills from Intro to Cirque or drop-in classes. Each week we’ll add to your toolbox of tricks while developing proper technique, muscle engagement, and flow in the air.
Get ready to have fun, LOTS of laughs, physically & mentally strengthen the body in completely new ways, & meet some amazing friends!
A 5 week course is designed for students to uniformly advance together. If any poses don't agree with your body, no sweat! Everything is adaptable :)
– Aerial class packages can not be used towards this series, and missed classes will no longer be credited back to your account (sorry, it's become too hard for fellow students & teachers to continue the flow of the series).
– Students should have taken 3–5 Intro to Cirque or Silk Hammock drop-in classes and feel comfortable climbing and inverting in the air.
