From the reviews

My daughter and I were thrilled to find Aerial Elements and have been taking classes with Lorrie for 4 years now. Not only it is a fantastic form of excercise, but with Lorrie’s masterful instruction and positive outlook even after a long day at school my daughter comes out of aerial silks class skipping and all…

★★★★★ — Aija, Oct 2023

My daughter has been taking aerial classes with Lorrie for almost three years. I have watched her confidence grow along with her strength as she continues to learn this beautiful athletic art.

★★★★★ — Catherine, Oct 2023

Aerial Elements is an absolutely amazing school. When we moved here 5 years ago, my daughter had never touched a silk ribbon, now after the amazing training she has recieved from Lorrie and Michelle, she has performed at some of the finest events in the south. Thank you Aerial Elements!

★★★★★ — Natalie, Feb 2019

My daughter has been taking lessons for a year now and has really enjoyed learning the silks. Aerial silks is a very technical sport and one thing I really appreciate is how Lorrie breaks down the skills into step by step instructions.

Your first pole class at Aerial Elements

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.
