Description:
Are you ready to begin your aerials journey, but longer weekday evening classes don’t work for you? Our Mixed Aerials 101 Express class gives you the chance to try a bit of everything aerial in a one-hour class format, offered in the middle of the day. Mixed Aerials 101 Express is a perfect place to start if you don't know what aerial you would like to try and to discover apparatuses you didn't know you would enjoy! This class will cover the basics of the four most popular aerial apparatuses taught at SHOW: sling, trapeze, fabric and lyra. We will work on developing strength, technique and confidence being in the air. Our aerial classes focus on specific progressions that are safe and fun for students. All progressions work towards sequences where students will start learning how to move and perform in the air. This class is a wonderful introduction to circus aerials!
Please note: Express covers much of the same material as standard Mixed Aerials 101, but not all of it. Because of the shorter class length, it will generally prepare students for Mixed Aerials 201 but not for the apparatus-specific 201 classes. In addition, because 101 Express moves at a relatively fast pace, it’s recommended that you already have an ongoing fitness practice of any sort before enrolling. If you have questions, feel free to contact the instructor at margaret@showcircusstudio.com!
For people looking to learn something new and exciting, circus is a non-competitive, artistic, fun and safe discipline. All classes at SHOW focus on vocabulary retention, interpersonal life skills, and having fun in a safe environment. Circus is a great way to increase self-esteem, have fun, get in shape, improve focus and learn skills that will translate into every aspect of your life. Circus for Fun, Circus for Life.
Any cancellation made by the student before the first day of class will be given a 100% refund. Any cancellations made by the student after the first class of the session has run is not eligible for a refund (special exceptions may be made for medical situations). If a single class is canceled by the studio (due to weather, staff availability, etc.), the cost of that class will be credited to your P13 account based on the single per class rate. Adult students who miss 1-2 classes during the session may attend 1-2 Open Studios free of charge, per session, to make up for the missed classes, as space allows. Students making up missed classes using Open Studio must register through the office.
Please note—if you miss a class due to COVID-related reasons, the cost of that class will be credited to your P13 account based on the single per class rate. As a result absences due to COVID will not be eligible for free Open Studio make-ups, but you may use your account credit to pay for Open Studios.
In the event that only one student is present for any given class, the class will automatically be changed to 1 hour in duration.
