From the reviews

Aerial Dance Marin is wonderful! It's such a fun sport to try and I'm so glad someone has made it available to those of us outside of SF. Sheila is so caring and make everyone feel welcome, regardless of skill level. Highly recommend!!

What a wonderful surprise to find this local dance school that offers a creative and unique form of expression to all ages. My daughter has truly enjoyed learning aerial skills and as a bonus has made some new friends.

★★★★★ — Amy, May 2017

ADM is the best place to learn aerial in Marin. Sheila is warm & positive, so newbies don't be afraid to come out & try it! A cool space with lots of safety mats & a soft floor. A great workout for all ages- I highly recommend!

Your first pole class at Aerial Dance Marin

Nervous about your first pole class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects total beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. You don't need to be strong, flexible, or thin to start — pole builds all of that, and your first class is about learning to spin, walk the pole, and hold on, not inverting on day one. What to expect: a warm-up, some conditioning, and a few basic spins or a short combo — it's a real full-body workout, so expect to sweat and to feel it in your arms and core the next day. Rest whenever you need to; no one is watching or judging. What to wear: shorts and a tank or sports bra — bare skin on your arms, legs, and stomach is what grips the pole, so save the leggings for aerial or floorwork. Skip the lotion the day of class; it makes the pole slippery. Grip aids: most studios keep grip liquid (Dry Hands / iTac) on hand, and knee pads make floorwork comfy — ask at the front desk. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people leave their first class already planning the next one.

Pole is for every body, and it's about strength, artistry, and confidence — not performing for anyone else. If you're pregnant or working around an injury, check with a doctor and let your instructor know so they can offer modifications.
