B.A.D. in Auxiliary Magazine

One of the most gratifying things about aerial arts is their versatility.  We get to collaborate with almost everyone: ballerinas, yogis, athletes, rocks climbers, circus folk, musicians, visual artists, and fashion pros.   We are truly lucky to be able to team up with talented people from so many different backgrounds, and last month we had the pleasure of doing a photo shoot with some exceptionally talented ladies from Auxiliary Magazine.   It was so much fun to be styled for this shoot, and it’s even more fun seeing the result of everyone’s hard work.  You can get the full issue at auxiliarymagazine.com                       Styling: Shannon Krampus Hair: Lauren Ashley Makeup: Mallory Stoos Photography: Jennifer Link Models: Erica, Anastasia,

A Glimpse into the Life of an Aerial Instructor

Let’s assume that those of you reading this have been, or at considering becoming one of our students.  We love hearing your experiences at our studio, and thought you’d want to know a little bit about ours. First of all there are four of us: Anastasia, Erica, Larry, and Nina, and one more in training, the lovely Jolene. We’ve all had various careers and life experience outside of the studio, which makes each of our styles unique.  We all first came to aerial out of curiosity, which developed into a serious passion for dancing on apparatus, and teaching was an opportunity that happened to arise from that. I (Erica) first fell in love with aerial arts in Seattle, where I lived throughout the first decade of the 2000s.  When I moved back to Buffalo in 2011, I was quite distressed to find this city lacking in things to dangle from and dance on. After searching high and …not really low… I came to rent some space in the Alt Theatre in 2012. Finally, I could at least practice, although I constantly missed being able to take class with other aerialists.

Closed today due to Weather

We are sorry to have to cancel aerial classes today, but these roads and weather conditions are looking pretty nasty! We plan to be open tomorrow as scheduled.  As for tonight, we recommend staying home and having a glass of wine – and joining us for a great class tomorrow or next

The new schedule is here, the new schedule is here!

It’s not much different from the old schedule, but Friday morning aerial yoga class is now Friday afternoon, and we’ve added a Sunday morning aerial yoga class, both starting NEXT WEEK (1/15/17).  All of the other classes are staying exactly the same. Also, we are busily inputting all of the necessary info into an online registration, scheduling, and payment system, that should be up and running any day now.  Reserving your class spot online will be optional, but if you want to check how many spots are still open, and save one for yourself just to be sure, you’ll be able to do that. We will recommend signing up online for aerial yoga because there are more limited spots in that class.
