What should I wear?
For our pole based classes, LyraPole and S-Pole, we recommend shorts and sleeveless / tank tops. For our alternative (non pole) classes and our select specialty classes like FlyPole, Lyra would need leggings. All registrations will notate apparel recommendations.
**NO NUDITY ALLOWED**
*No baggy clothing. Lotions, oils, cocoa butter or any moisturizer is not permitted because it makes the pole slick. We have to use our body to grip the pole. Please do not wear lotions for at least 2 hours prior to your class. Jewelry that dangles or restricts limb movement is also not permitted. (Rings, bracelets, necklaces.) Apparel must cover up the important parts (chest area/ breast, genitalia areas) as we are in a family friendly facility. If you are unsure, please reach out and ask.*

Is pole and aerial arts a workout?
Most definitely! Pole and Aerial is a calisthenics (full body) workout. With pole and aerial, you will be increasing your strength, stamina, flexibility, confidence, self love and a community . All classes will hit all these elements in one way or another.
What is the difference between "Series" and "Drop In" classes?
Our "Drop In" classes are an open curriculum and those class dates and times vary. Our "Series" classes are on a specific day and time for 4 weeks for 1.5 hours each week. The "Series" is broken down to 'mini series' so every 'mini series' is different but all "mini series' build on each other.
