What we teach
Three styles, one goal: helping you move with more control, confidence and expression, whether you're here for dance itself or to look better in the air.
Ballet
The classical foundation underneath almost every other style. Ballet builds alignment, balance, clean lines and control, and it's some of the best cross-training an aerialist can do.
Jazz
High energy, sharp and full of personality. Jazz and theatre jazz work on rhythm, isolations, turns and kicks, plus the performance quality that makes an audience lean in.
Contemporary
Grounded, expressive and endlessly creative. Contemporary blends ballet technique with floor work, weight shifts and improvisation, a natural fit for circus artists finding their own movement voice.
