From the reviews

I started taking beginner aerial classes (which consist of learning trapeze and aerial silks) at Kansas City Aerial Arts several months ago, and I have had the best time. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to do any of it at first, but the class was beginner-friendly and the coaches made me feel completely supported.

★★★★★ — Kat, Jun 2025

What a willing leadership team KC Aerial Arts has! What a talented group of performers! It was a joy to work with them as they created a show and workshop just for our event to entertain, engage, and enlighten our audience of young people in aerial arts but also STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and…

Our daughter has trained at KCAA for the last four years...she has loved her experience. Her teachers have been professional, supportive, and challenged her to become a better artist and performer.

★★★★★ — Adkinsfam, Apr 2024

Highly recommend this studio! Beautiful and clean facilities. Easy to access and tons of parking! I was in town for the weekend and was able to snag a lesson at the last minute for me and my daughter (5 yrs).

Bachelorette & private parties at Kansas City Aerial Arts

Kansas City Aerial Arts 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 Kansas City Aerial Arts

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.
