From the reviews
Ruby and Luca are the most advanced aerial instructors in Orange County. Their studio space has high ~30ft ceilings. They have 12 rigging points and regular shows. They have studio space available for rental. I would highly recommend this studio for training
My daughter has been practicing aerial here for a little over a year now and we couldn't be happier. Coaches Ruby and Luca are true circus professionals who care deeply for their students and train with the highest standards of safety and skill.
i have been going here for three years after going to another aerial school and coach ruby and luca are the best teachers!! they always push me to my fullest potential on the apparatuses and make sure i get the teaching i need to develop my skills and strength.
I love coming to Ruby’s contortion class !!!! She’s a very knowledgeable and empathetic to her individual students , offering variations on the multiple poses throughout the class . She targets the whole body in the hour and I feel so energized after!
Your first pole class at Orange County Aerial Arts / the school of the Ruby Karen Project
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.
