Pole Fitness, also known as Pole Dancing, Pole Sport or Pole Art. Much like ballet, you start with the basics as a beginner, learn proper technique and form and work your way up to higher levels. Pole dancing has quickly become a very popular form of exercise and even a competitive sport around the world. Not only is it a great way to embrace your inner goddess, but it also has numerous health benefits that shouldn’t be overlooked.
Silks, also known as aerial tissue, is done on two pieces of hanging fabric. Beginners will start learning the basic foot wraps, and work their way up to being suspended by locking your feet into the cloth safely and securely. Aerial silks work pretty much every muscle in your body: from arms to legs, stomach to back.
Lyra, also known as Aerial Hoop, is a suspended steel hoop, usually between 32-38” in diameter. Some hoops are taped with a hockey-type tape to add grip, while others are not. Lyra requires a lot of upper body strength but beginners are welcome as you will learn the basics and progress from there, building your strength up over time and developing your flexibility.
Hammock, also known as Aerial Swing, is where the fabric is set up opposite of Silks and the tails are tied at the top and the fabric loops down. We currently offer yoga hammock classes.
A combination of Pole and Silks or Hammock, where the fabric is attached to the top of the pole. This is a great, slightly gentler, workout than pole and silks on their own, and a great way to get the best of both worlds. We do not currently offer regular FabPole / Silkies classes, but do have the apparatus available.
A round metal hoop, similar to a Lyra, attached to the top of a pole. It is pole meets static lyra. It is another exciting combo of two apparatuses to challenge your body and mind. We do not currently offer lollipop classes, but may have the apparatus available.
Static Trapeze is performed on the static (non-swinging) trapeze. The artist executes breathtaking acrobatics and gorgeous poses while suspended in the air. We do not currently offer trapeze classes, but do have the apparatus available.
Aerial straps are two long pieces of fabric with handholds at the end. Straps tend to require a lot of upper-body strength. We do not currently offer straps classes, but do have the apparatus available.
Chains are similar in function to silks or hammock, but tend to be more painful. Two large chains are suspended from the ceiling and loop. We do not currently offer chains classes, but do have the apparatus available.
Fly Pole is a thrilling twist on traditional pole—it’s attached only at the top, leaving the bottom free to swing, spin, and glide through the air. This dynamic apparatus combines the strength and flow of pole with the freedom of aerial movement, giving you a whole new way to explore tricks, spins, and dance in midair. Perfect for students who want to take their pole journey to the next level with an adventurous aerial flair!
