The aerial sling, also known as an aerial hammock, is a very versatile aerial apparatus. It is similar to aerial silks (such as in Cirque Du Soleil) but it is just one piece of fabric, looped at the bottom and easier to start with. This is the same aerial hammock that we use for Aerial Yoga classes but it is set at a little higher height and we spend more time up in the fabric. Participants will learn basic placements and transitions of this relatively new aerial art form in this fun and upbeat class which includes a warm-up, cool down and stretching. Pull up strength is not a requirement, but this class may inspire one to strengthen the upper body and core! This is a great class if you have already taken an aerial yoga class and want to learn more about the acrobatic part of the aerial sling. Dance and gymnastics experience is a plus but not required!

**Please plan to arrive 5-10 minutes early.

**Please wear comfortable tight fitted clothing with a t-shirt long enough to be tucked in and that covers the arms pits. Please remove all jewelry before going on the fabrics.
