Intro to Aerial Arts
Intro to Aerial Arts Mini Sessions at Moody Street Circus
We offer introductory classes to aerial silks in the form of mini-sessions.
Mini sessions can last between 4-6 weeks with 75-90 minute classes.
Cost per session depends on number of weeks and class duration: $140-270
MSC classes are for students ages 15 & up.
Introductory level mini sessions are only offered 3-4x per year so that we can focus on growing the strong and creative aerialists that emerge from each new mini-session.
Students can also book intro to aerial silks private lessons (or semi-private for up to 6 students).
What will I learn in an Intro to Aerial mini session?
During an intro to aerial arts mini session at Moody Street Circus students will learn:
The foundational skills, wraps, safety details, conditioning drills, and techniques for aerial silks. Students will begin to explore linking skills to create short flows and combinations that will help build their muscles and endurance. These details and skills will depend on the apparatus of the intro session.
One of our goals during an intro session is to prepare our students for the pre-requisites of the beginner level for that apparatus. By the end of the session our goal is that students are able to safely and confidently execute those skills with grace. View studio pre-requisites here.

What happens after the intro-session is complete?
Once a student has completed an intro-level aerial arts mini-session they are typically able to progress to our beginner classes.
It is important that students take their conditioning outside of the studio seriously to maintain safe practice. However some students may need more than 3-4 classes to feel comfortable with the material - and that is normal!
Private lessons can supplement training, or one can re-join the waitlist for another intro level session.
After an intro-level session or private lesson concludes we make personal recommendations to students for the best option to continue their practice.
