FAQS

For Intro to Pole and Beginner Pole: wear leggings, socks, knee pads, a sports bra and comfortable top. Bring a water bottle. No jewelry or lotions/lubricants on your skin on the day of your class.

For Intro to Intermediate, Intermediate, and Advanced Pole: shorts, and a sports bra or pole clothes are recommended. A tank top is optional but the more exposed skin you have, the better you will stick to the pole, especially in intermediate and advanced classes. Dry skin is best, please do not wear lotions and lubricants on the day of your class as these leave a film on the pole and create a slipping/fall hazard for you and students using the pole after you. Grip aides are recommended but not tack in a spray bottle as this damages the finish on our poles. Jewelry must be removed, bring water!

For Heels Pole: Pleaser heels or a similar brand are recommended but not required. You may dance in cute socks on your tiptoes instead. While pleasers seem intimidating to walk in, the platform to heel ratio is similar to a street heel, and the insole is cushioned for additional comfort. Street heels are not recommended. Pleasers have a toe swivel designed to help you move and spin around the pole smoothly and seamlessly. Wear leggings and knee pads, a sports bra and tank top. Remove all jewelry, including rings/bracelets.

For Level 2-3 Heels Flow:  wear pole shorts, an athletic skirt/skort, or shorts to class. Pole grip might be needed, so bring it just in case, don’t forget your water bottle! Remove all jewelry, no lotions/lubricants on the day of your class.

For Aerial Hoop: wear leggings, a sports bra, a comfortable top, and socks. Sometimes we invert and hang upside down, if you are not comfortable with a bare midriff, wear a tighter fitting top or leotard/bodysuit. Gloves are not recommended as they inhibit the build up of much needed calluses and grip strength. No jewelry, bring your water bottle.

For Aerial Silks/Hammock: leggings, socks, sports bra, and a comfortable top with short or long sleeves is recommended to help prevent silk burn in the underarm area. Rings, necklaces, or jewelry of any kind are not allowed as there is a possibility of getting caught on the fabric, which is dangerous for you and damaging to the silks.

For both Belly Dance classes: comfortable workout clothes of any kind is fine. Tighter fitting tank tops help you be able to see your torso a little bit better, you may dance in socks or bare feet. Belly belts are not required but you may bring one if you have one.

For Hula Hoop: hula hoops are provided but if you wish to bring your own, you may do so. Our instructor has a variety of weights and diameters to suit your specific body type. Different skills may require different weights and sizes of hula hoops, so try different ones if you have trouble with a certain skill. Don’t forget your water bottle.

For Flexibility, Yoga, Strength & Conditioning, Mobility & Stretch: the studio provides yoga mats and blankets, and additional equipment needed, but you may bring your own mat if you prefer. Bring a water bottle. Barre socks are optional.

Absolutely not! Our progressive program is designed to help you start with little to no upper body strength, and no prior experience. Each class, you will work on conditioning and flexibility to help you start building up the strength needed for poses in each apparatus. We will always accommodate moves and instruction to fit each person’s level. Grace comes with strength, so even if you don’t feel graceful at first, overtime, you will be amazed at how much more you can do with consistency. We recommend filming yourself at the end of each class to track your progress. Complimentary classes like flexibility, mobility, yoga, and strength and conditioning help you improve your aerial skills more efficiently.

Our apparatuses and rig are designed to hold all shapes and sizes! Our rig is designed to hold several hundred pounds, per rigging point and per pole. Additionally, we have aerial hoops in different diameters to accommodate different heights and sizes. Our students range from children to senior citizens. It is never too late to begin your aerial journey! We are a body positive and size inclusive studio!

While we do drop ins, reserving your spot online is recommended. When you schedule your classes ahead of time, you also have the opportunity to fill out waivers and see if your class is full before coming to the studio. During the summer months, classes may be canceled due to low attendance, so prebooking is highly recommended.

No, you may absolutely pay the drop in rate each time! While we do offer a monthly unlimited packages, there is no contract. You will receive a reminder email prior to your renewal date to allow time for you to cancel.  We also offer class packs to help save you money on the drop in rate. These class packs don’t expire for 90 days, allowing you more time to attend your classes. If you feel like you might attend more than 12 classes/month, the unlimited package is the best value for you! Our 3 and 6 month packages offer lower rates, if you need to cancel early, the early cancellation fee is $35. Don’t forget your rest days, these are essential for overuse and injury prevention.

Non aerial class packs cover classes not on an apparatus. These include, flexibility, strength & conditioning, mobility & stretch, belly dance, yoga, hula hoop, meditation and open studio, since this is practice time without instruction. Aerial class packs cover ALL classes, those listed above and additionally, all pole, hoop, and silks classes.

Many people are the first time they come in, it’s completely natural to feel that way, you are branching out, trying something new, and doing it with people you dont know! Our positive and supportive community is here to make you feel welcomed and motivate you! You will start to feel more at ease once you start your first class and will leave feeling exhilarated and happy you came! However, we do also offer private and semi-private lessons if you would rather try a class with your friends or family. (Book a class -> appointments)

Not questions, but statements we hear pretty frequently. YES YOU CAN! You will not be doing crazy tricks on your first day, you will be covering basics and fundamemtal skills. Each class includes a warm up, stretching, and conditioning to start building strength and flexibility used for the next level. 

Everyone starts at the very beginning and eventually grows into a strong and graceful person, in class and in life! Simply shifting your mindset and being wiling to try new things, push past fears, and put in the work is all ANYONE needs to be able to do this and any other skill. You got this, we will help you, spot you, encourage you, and lift you up when you need it!

CLASS CANCELATIONS

Our studio holds limited capacity, especially for pole, and many of our classes fill up fast. For this reason, we request that you cancel at least 4 hours before your scheduled class. This will allow us to offer your spot to another student. In the event that the studio needs to cancel a class or workshop, a class credit will be returned to you.

If you purchased a series and miss a class, you will be given 1 free credit for an open studio as a makeup. The credit must be used within the scheduled series.

If you signed up for a single class, you will have 4 hours to cancel in order to receive a credit for another class. If there is a no show, or you cancel after 4 hours, there will be no credits issued and you will be charged a $10 fee.

LATE CANCELLATIONS/NO-SHOWS

 A cancellation is considered late when the appointment is cancelled less than 4 hours before the respective class time.  A no-show is when a student misses a class without cancelling. In either case, you will not receive a class credit. If you purchased the 1 Month Unlimited package, you will have 2 hours to cancel. If you do not show, you will be automatically charged a $10 fee.
