From the reviews

Aerial Hippie is absolutely phenomenal from the instruction to the facility to even the patrons, themselves. As an absolute beginner, I've never felt so supported and cared for when learning something new. Everyone is so willing to share their knowledge and offer advice should you choose to want it.

★★★★★ — Hannah, May 2023

I love taking classes at Aerial Hippie! They are so supportive and encouraging. I'm not always the most graceful in the air but they have helped me feel so much more confident. I highly recommend taking a class here.

★★★★★ — Kendra, Jul 2024

The best instructor I have ever had! I've seen silks done on web videos, and thought I want to try that, Miss Mindy walk you through slowly and learns your style of learning and your strengths almost instantly, she showed me different techniques to build up my own strength so I can succeed in her class.

★★★★★ — Ceejai, Sep 2017

Greatest person I ever met is Mindy! She made me find my true passion in silks! She’s been teaching how to fly in the air for a little over a year and I’m still obsessed with my new art and its all thanks to her. I can’t stop talking about it! And the girls who also go are beyond wonderful and caring souls.

Bachelorette & private parties at Aerial Hippie

Aerial Hippie comes up for private parties — confirmed on their own site. A pole party is one of the most-booked ways to celebrate a bachelorette, birthday, or girls' night, and it's a blast even if nobody in the group has ever touched a pole. A few things worth asking when you reach out. First, group size and what's included — most studios run private parties for around 6–15 people with a dedicated instructor, a beginner-friendly routine, and time for photos. Second, the vibe you want — sassy heels-and-flow choreography, playful spins and tricks, or a mix; a good studio tailors it to the guest of honor. Third, booking and pricing — parties are usually a flat package booked in advance, and popular weekend slots fill up fast, so ask about deposits and what to wear (shorts for grip, no lotion). It's beginner-friendly by design, judgment-free, and genuinely fun — exactly the kind of thing everyone talks about afterward.

Your first pole class at Aerial Hippie

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.
