From the reviews

I live in Connecticut, but grew up around Cleveland so am home frequently to visit family. I love practicing lyra and trapeze, and was worried that I would not be able to find a place when visiting Ohio. Sky Aerial has been amazing! From the first time that I called Emily, she was professional and enthusiastic.

★★★★★ — Sarah, Dec 2021

Great instructor, nice studio lots of options for learning different types of aerial work. Very professional, clean. I am non-binary I identify as myself, them, they… I am also half Cherokee and I was adopted and raised Jewish. I feel accepted appreciated and welcome when I go to sky circus.

★★★★★ — Christine, Mar 2024

I got to check this studio out for the first time on Sunday and how exciting was it! A Cleveland studio for all things aerial! How freaking fabulous! Not to mention that it's woman owned (if you're into those things).

★★★★★ — Samantha, Feb 2023

Emily is so talented and knowledgeable with all the different aerial apparatuses. I have been learning from her for the past 5 years, she does a great job making you feel comfortable and safe ( especially in the begging) all while having a fun time. I highly recommend her and her studio!!!!

Your first pole class at Sky Circus Cleveland

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.
