The Aerial Lab

The Aerial Lab is a community aerial arts/circus studio that offers classes for beginners through advanced in aerial silks, rope (corde lisse), lyra (aerial hoop), static and dance trapeze, bungee, and invented apparatus. We also offer classes in flexibility, aerial conditioning, aerial barre, and aerial yoga. We host many workshops by respected artists in the industry and offer open climb training times for aerialists practicing with us, or for traveling professionals (with instructor approval).We also offer a talented and fun group of performers for corporate and local hire! At The Aerial Lab, we follow a scientific approach to the aerial arts. We believe that safety and understanding are the strongest foundations to building a knowledge of aerial dance and circus performance, regardless of apparatus.
