The classes they teach
“As I described them to the Austin Chronicle: "Cardio & strength building & balance all wrapped up in one class, but you don't even notice because it's SO FREAKING FUN!”
“My first intro class was with Erica and she made everyone feel welcome and safe while also teaching us some awesome poses and progressions on a couple different apparatuses.”
“I’ve attended a couple of series classes (lyra, silks & rope) and several drop in classes (intro to aerial & silks) and found the instructors to be really helpful and attentive.”

From the reviews
Sky Candy is an incredibly inclusive and supportive aerial studio. The staff and instructors are the kindest people ever. I've never felt less self conscious while working out, and I used to hate working out in front of other humans. But at Sky Candy I feel strong and I'm no longer self conscious.
I've been training lyra and have taken a few other classes over the past year and absolutely love Sky Candy! I started as a total beginner with no regular fitness routine, and the instructors are all great about providing alternatives for each move to help you build pathways and strength while meeting you where you're…
I have been doing classes, workshops, private lessons, and performances through Sky Candy for over a year now, and it has been a life-changing experience. My instructors have all been fantastic, and trapeze has become a true passion in my life. It's certainly an expensive hobby, but it's well worth it to me.
Started taking classes at Sky Candy looking for a creative and fun way to work out. My first intro class was with Erica and she made everyone feel welcome and safe while also teaching us some awesome poses and progressions on a couple different apparatuses.
Bachelorette & private parties at Sky Candy
Sky Candy 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 Sky Candy
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.
