From the reviews
I took a beginner aerial class here just over a year ago, work no prior experience whatsoever, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made! I am easily bored with workouts, and prior to coming here I thought I just didn't develop strength very easily.
I love Night Flight, it is an amazing aerial studio. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, skilled in their art, and caring. I have practiced at several other aerial facilities and in my opinion, Night Flight is above the rest. Their training is structured and always feels safe.
Night Flight is hands down the best circus school in Portland. The instructors are friendly, knowledgeable, and always make me feel safe in the air. I’ve really progressed and conquered all sorts of tricks I never imagined I’d be able to do.
Do yourself a solid and take aerial classes!!! I've seen such a huge transformation physically, mentally, and emotionally. I originally signed up to keep myself "busy" during the winter rainy season, but I'm hooked and can't stop going.
Your first pole class at Night Flight Aerial & Circus 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.
