After you’ve completed your Lyra Foundations continue on with Lyra Level 1/1.5. Each class consists of a warm up, strength/conditioning, and shapes/transitions on the bottom bar. Then students have the opportunity to see how these shapes and transitions start to create a flow or sequence. Each class ends with a cool down. Prerequisite: Lyra Foundations.
For new students who are just starting their Aerial Arts journey this series is for you! Students will learn the beginning foundations of Aerial Arts (Hang 101, Climb & Press 102, Wraps 103 and Flips 104) over the course of 4 weeks. You will leave this series feeling confident and have a solid foundation to attend our weekly Aerial Arts classes (i.e. Hammock Flips, Tricks, and Transitions Level 1) or Beginner Aerial Dance. Sign up via the schedule to attend.
Prerequisites: These Aerial Arts Foundations Classes are meant to be taken in order (e.g. 101, 102, 103, 104) to build on what was learned in the previous class. You must complete 101 before moving to 102 and so on.
Students learn how different aerial moves and tricks link together to create a dance routine. Our Aerial Dance classes are offered as an eight week workshop series that end with a performance for family and friends on the ninth week. Students must have prior aerial experience or have attended a Kids Aerial Foundations workshop. Youth Aerial Dance is offered for two age groups: ages 6 to 10 and for ages 11+. You can see which series are being offered by viewing the workshops listed on our Workshops page.
You’ve seen beautiful performances and cool tricks on the Lyra, but you don’t even know yet how to get yourself up there? You think you are not strong enough, your hands get tired way before the class ends and have no idea where to even start? Start here with a Lyra Foundations workshop. You will learn easy and graceful ways to get onto the Lyra, beginner-friendly poses, transitions and shapes, low flow on the bottom of the Lyra, and aerial-specific safety and conditioning techniques and drills. Please visit the Workshops tab for workshop dates/times and to sign up. Please note, Lyra Foundations is the prerequisite to attending other lyra classes on the schedule.
Learn the foundations of aerial trick technique. You’ll learn basic flips, tricks, drops, and transitions all as you build your confidence, strength, flexibility, and balance. Prerequisite: Aerial Arts Foundations classes (101-104).
