Intermediate. To Enter Level 3, students must pass a scheduled Exam with Miss Sally.
To pass, you must be able to demonstrate mastery of the Beginner Syllabus and
be able to confidently and consistently hold an Inverted V on the Pole.

Level 4 - Advanced Students

Advanced. Level 4 classes are for Advanced students who have mastered Level 3 essentials and can easily climb, aerial invert, sustain leg hangs, and comfortably utilize shoulder mounts to invert. It is expected that Level 4 students are training and cross-training at the studio multiple days a week. Level 4 Students are highly encouraged to take our Pilates, Ballet, and other Flexibility classes to supplement training.

Pole Fitness Classes

​

Pole Fitness
Pole Dance is an art, an exercise class, an international competitive sport, a means of self-expression, and an activity that is strengthening and empowering for many women who practice it.

Aerial Classes

​

Lyra
Lyra, also known as aerial hoop, is a metal circle that is suspended from the ceiling, and incorporates both strength and flexibility. You will learn how to invert, spin, and transition into and out of various positions. 

Silks, Aerial Yoga, & Aerial Hammocks
Our Silks & Aerial Hammocks classes use soft and supportive fabric slings to suspend you in the air. Enjoy the feeling of weightlessness as you improve strength, gain body awareness, increase joint mobility, and decompress the spine. Each class will contain exercises for strength, in addition to flexibility, in a fun and safe environment. The Hammocks are also used to prepare you for more elevated work on the Silks. The apparatuses are used in combination during Silks classes to facilitate learning skills low to the ground before trying them up high.

​

Teen Aerial

Our Teen Aerial Classes are open to students ages 11-13 (pre) and 14-17 (teen).  Offered Monday - Thursday, the Aerial program will provide a combination of Lyra and Hammocks technique and exercises, which will vary by day.  Ballet classes are offered at complementary times and are recommended supplements to Aerial participation to accelerate coordination, strength, and fluidity.
