Aerial Apparatus

We train on a variety of aerial apparatus, including:

Each apparatus offers a unique style of movement, strength building, and creativity in the air.

Intro to Aerial Dance (Beginner-Friendly)

Our Intro to Aerial Dance classes are designed specifically for complete beginners. No prior experience is required.

Students learn foundational techniques through guided instruction, conditioning, and progressive skill-building. This is the perfect place to begin your aerial training.

Cloud 9 Aerial Training pathway 

As students continue training, classes build on foundational skills with increased complexity, strength development, and technique refinement. Progression is based on consistency, skill readiness, and individual pacing. 

Our progressive training pathway includes:

1. Intro to Aerial Dance – Foundations across Silks, Hammock, Trapeze, and Lyra

2. Continuing Intro (Apparatus-Specific) – Focused foundational training on a chosen apparatus

3. Level 1 (Apparatus-Specific) – Expanded skill development and technique building

4. Level 2 (Apparatus-Specific) – More complex sequences, strength, and technical refinement
