Intro to Aerial Pole

With Nicky Ly

If you’re curious to try aerial pole, and have experience in Chinese or dance pole, this workshop is for you! Aerial pole is a beautiful, challenging, and dynamic apparatus.

In this workshop, we’ll start by covering a variety of climbs and skills; we’ll discuss the similarities and differences between a grounded and aerial pole; and we’ll explore how to utilize the unique movement quality of this apparatus by breaking down the techniques needed to spin, swing, and orbit.
