* DESCRIPTIONS OF CONDITIONING AND FLEXIBILITY CLASSES
Conditioning: This class is a fun way to fitness for new aerialists, intermediate aerialists and non-aerialists alike. The class incorporates the use of aerial apparatuses and floor exercises to create a whole body workout focusing on increasing strength, endurance and flexibility. Exercises are tailored to the individual students, and keep the focus on correct form, muscle engagement and shoulder stability.
Conditioning Boot Camp: This class is for intermediate-level aerialists who are continuing to build strength on aerial equipment. Students will be guided through a variety of strength-building exercises in the air and on the ground. Prepare to work hard and sweat!
Flexbility One: This class aims to improve your aerial performance and progress, reduce injury risk and muscle soreness, beautify form and posture, and give you a great workout. Safe stretching is supported by warm muscles and stable joints, so every class includes a cardio warm-up, core and shoulder work, and functional flexibility exercises including resistance, dynamic, static, and partner stretching.
Flexibility Two (Beginner Contortion): This class is for the student who already has above-average flexibility, and wants to learn basic contortion/acro poses and develop greater control and depth of flexibility. Register by permission of instructor, or meet ALL of the following pre-requisites: full 10 second bridge, 30 second forearm plank, and at least one full ground split (front or side).
A ROUGH GUIDE TO AERIAL CLASS LEVELS.
Aerial Basics: For people new to aerial arts
Level 1A: For students who have completed at least one session or semester (at AirCraft or elsewhere) and have acquired basic aerial skills (i.e. foot block and inverted knee hook on rope/silks; basic sitting and standing poses on trapeze)
Level 1B: For students who have completed at least one session of Level 1A, AND can do clean hip keys from the ground, double crochet and inverted knee-hooks in the air, and back balance poses on trapeze/lyra.
Level 2: For students who are learning same-side and opposite knee hook tricks in the air, and are working on tricks in the ropes on trapeze.
Level 3: For students who can mount the trapeze and lyra without tagging the bar, and can do clean hip keys and related tricks in the air.
Level 4: who can do drops from high up on rope and silks, and can easily go up-and-over to front balance on trapeze and lyra.
Level 5: For advanced students who do drops and rolls, meathooks, etc., and have the stamina and repertoire to do a four-minute aerial routine.
Level 6: For aerialists who are honing performance techniques and adding to an already-considerable repertoire of tricks.
PRIVATE LESSONS & CLASSES
Private lessons are one hour long, can include one or two people, and can be scheduled directly by e-mail. The cost is $70 ($35 each if shared by two). Three people can share a 75-minute lesson for $33 each. If four, five or six people want to schedule a lesson together, it becomes a “special class,” runs for 75 minutes, and costs $25 apiece, just like the not-special classes. Please contact us for availability information.
