From the reviews

I took Lacy's aerial spiral workshop at VRV3 and was so glad I did! Lacy is fantastic at tailoring the levels to beginner/intermediate/advanced, and she was great at breaking down cues. I also really loved her overview of the spiral -- how is it unique as an apparatus vs.

★★★★★ — Eric, Apr 2025

I attended a workshop with Lacey in Los Angeles and had an amazing experience. Lacey is very passionate about what she does and is a great instructor. I am a beginner aerialist with only 4 months of Lyra experience and she helped me feel comfortable and confident on the spiral.

★★★★★ — Lizel, Sep 2025

I participated in a spiral workshop with Lacy while she was visiting Denver, and I had such a wonderful time! This has been an apparatus I’ve been wanting to try for so long, and I love how she is working to make it more accessible to students and studios.

Your first pole class at The Aerial Illusions Company

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.
