From the reviews
As a child I was a gymnast and a cheerleader, so in search of an adult hobby, I decided to give Cirque de Vol aerial sling classes a try. Nearly 3 years later and I am still doing and loving it! It is a workout, without feeling like a workout - I've built strength and flexibility, all while having fun.
I've taken countless classes and workshops at Cirque de Vol over the years and have been enriched by every one. The instructors truly are passionate artists sharing emmense skill and love of their disciplines. They have something for everyone... Regardless of skill level, age, or strength.
I’ve been interested in taking aerial fabric classes for many years so I’m happy to have found this studio. Located in downtown Raleigh it’s a fairly large studio and they offer many different types of classes (silks, slings, Lyra, trapeze, and others).
We are new to Raleigh and werelooking for a fun, safe activity for our daughter. She was excited to try the “Intro to Circus” class. The teacher is so kind and extremely talented both at her specialty but also at teaching. She was kind, affirming, and kept the class engaging but not overwhelming.
Bachelorette & private parties at Cirque de Vol Aerial, Yoga, Fitness & Circus Community
Cirque de Vol Aerial, Yoga, Fitness & Circus Community comes up for private parties, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Cirque de Vol Aerial, Yoga, Fitness & Circus Community
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.
