Classes at Fly One

Pre-Ballet is where we introduce our tiniest budding dancers to ballet. This class builds coordination, balance, musicality, listening skills, and self-confidence. Students learn the very basics of ballet positions, vocabulary, and posture through playful movement and story.

Prerequisite: The student must be fully potty trained and able to use the restroom independently.

Must be able to: Stay in the dance studio and participate without a parent or caregiver present. Follow simple instructions in a group setting; participate in creative movement and basic shapes (curl, stretch, balance on one foot briefly).

Pre-Aerial is where we introduce our youngest movers to flying. Here they explore multiple aerial apparatus, with heavy focus on creating safe habits and learning foundational skills. Little flyers learn to move safely and confidently into and out of their apparatus, building coordination, strength, balance, musicality, listening skills, and self-confidence.

Prerequisite: Stay in the dance studio and participate without a parent or caregiver present, and remain focused. Demonstrate excellent listening skills and ability to follow instructions.

Must be able to: Hang from a bar with feet off the ground for 10 seconds. Follow safety rules.

Ballet I focuses on building a strong technical foundation while honoring each dancer's individual body and movement patterns. Students develop essential ballet vocabulary, alignment, coordination, and musicality through structured barre and center work, with emphasis on proper placement and safe, mindful progression.

Prerequisite: Completion of Pre-Ballet or instructor evaluation.

Must be able to: Execute all 5 ballet positions; perform tendu, dégagé, and plié in 1st and 2nd positions; basic chassé and sauté; maintain quiet barre etiquette.

Take the art of dance up into the air using silks, hoop (lyra), and hammock. Aerial dancers build strength, flexibility, coordination, and body awareness simultaneously, learning daring skills, beautiful shapes, and sequences through magical transitions. This is the place to get a taste of every apparatus, with emphasis on building strength, confidence, and comfort in the air.

Your entry point into the world of hammock. Foundation skills and technique take center stage — the ABCs of aerial hammock, getting in and out with confidence, and that first unforgettable feeling of floating. Covers pull-overs, leg hooks, spins, and a first taste of inversions, with a strong focus on strength and safe habits in the fabric.

A space to blend ballet, modern, and creative movement into something new. Contemporary I/II moves beyond ballet technique, inviting dancers to explore levels, musicality, and the flow between standing and floorwork — a focus on versatility, artistry, and finding your own voice in movement.

An introduction to both hammock and silks, where foundation skills and technique are learned across both fabrics. Students are introduced to the ABCs of aerial, learning to transition in and out comfortably. On hammock: pull-overs, leg hooks, and spinning; on silks: climbs, wraps, and footlocks. Heavy focus on building strength, body awareness, and safe habits across both apparatuses.

An introduction to — or continued exploration of — contemporary dance, open to dancers of all levels and backgrounds. Students play with levels, musicality, and transitions from standing to groundwork, building strength and artistry along the way, in a space where every adult dancer feels welcome to move and grow.

The next step in lyra: building on foundational skills and exploring more advanced poses, inversions, and transitions within the hoop. Basic skills expand into shoulder mounts, dynamic spins, and the beginning of linking movements into sequences, with focus on strength, control, and confidence.

Prerequisite: Instructor evaluation/approval, Aerial Lyra I.

Open to all levels of experience, technique is both introduced and refined depending on where you're starting from. Students move through barre, center, and across-the-floor combinations, exploring alignment, musicality, and artistry — building foundational strength for beginners while offering depth for more experienced dancers.

Recommended for dancers training a minimum of two years. Dancers move more confidently away from the barre and begin to explore more complex adagio and allegro. Barre becomes more challenging, introducing exercises to increase strength, flexibility, dexterity, and line, with strong emphasis on proper alignment as a pre-pointe class.

Prerequisite: Completion of Ballet I and/or instructor evaluation/approval. Must be enrolled in 2–3 classes per week.

A welcoming space for aerialists ready to take their practice further — continuing to build vocabulary and weave skills into longer, more connected sequences in the air. Movement is explored not just as technique but as expression, treating the silks as a prop for storytelling as much as an apparatus to master.

Prerequisite: Instructor evaluation/approval; recommended for those who have already explored hammock or hammock/silks.

Lyra, from the ground up. This class introduces the fundamentals — safely mounting and dismounting the hoop, and discovering balance and movement within the ring. Students learn foundational skills like basic poses, hip holds, knee hangs, and a first introduction to spinning, with strength-building and safe habits at the heart of the class.

A fast-paced class designed for the experienced dancer. Barre exercises become more intricate, requiring deeper muscle control and balance. Dancers explore application of their technique with more demanding adagio and allegro, and focus on interpreting music and performing as they train.

Prerequisite: Completion of Intermediate Ballet and/or instructor evaluation/approval. Must be enrolled in 3–4 classes per week. 4+ years of prior training.

A choreography-based class where experienced dancers learn and perform variations from classical repertoire. Students learn set solos focusing on gesture, facial expression, and character interpretation, performing en pointe or demi-pointe depending on level. Contact the studio to schedule an assessment.

Prerequisite: Completion or enrollment in Intermediate Ballet and/or instructor evaluation/approval. Must be enrolled in 3–4 classes per week.

A bridge between aerial and dance. Lyra is set at lower heights, making it possible to dance in the hoop, and around and with it — a gentle introduction for adults who want to move off the floor and into the air.

Offered at three levels — I, II/III, and IV+. A space to sharpen the essentials, where leaps, kicks, and turns are broken down and built up piece by piece. Students work on alignment, spotting, extension, and momentum, with heavy focus on repetition and drilling to build power and confidence across the floor.

A space to build the strength behind the skill. Dancers and aerialists train the fundamentals of conditioning — core strength, grip, flexibility, and stability — to support the demands of their craft, with focus on injury prevention and a strong physical foundation.

Pilates for every body. Works through mat-based exercises focused on core strength, control, and flexibility, guided by the principles of breath and alignment. Open to all levels, building strength and body awareness at your own pace.
