What kinds of classes does Airbound Arts offer?

We offer:
  • Hour of Power classes ($10): fast-paced, hour long, aerial-based circuit training suitable for all levels of experience.
(no aerial experience necessary).
  • Weekly open gyms ($8): two hours of personal training time with an experienced gym monitor.  
Suitable for currently enrolled aerial students, or those with aerial experience who can pass an equivalency.  (see below)
  •  Occasional workshops and theme-based sessions (prices vary): content and prerequisites vary, see our​ schedule for details


How can I pay for aerial classes or memberships?

We accept cash (exact change) and checks in studio, but we very much prefer you pay ahead online!
All payments are non-refundable except in the case of class/event cancellation. Memberships
must be paid & by the 1st of the month. Once you have paid AND filled out the Volunteer Task FORM, you will receive the $85 membership for the following month and the new door code. Half month memberships are not available.
