From the reviews
VB Aerial Arts Collective is an absolutely beautiful space with great people and a supportive and encouraging environment. I highly recommend this studio! Kelsey and Sovay love what they do and are extremely knowledgeable and talented in their craft. You will love every minute of it!
Kelsey and the teachers at VB Aerial Arts foster a dedicated learning environment built on professionalism and inclusion. I've been practicing aerial for 3 years and have significantly improved my strength and aerial skills through their training. If you starting out and unsure of how to proceed, this is the place!
“Hanging” with Kelsey on silks is the best part of my week and I wish I could go every day. She’s helped me realize my circus dreams and provides excellent guidance and encouragement. I’ve been her student for a year and a half now and don’t see myself stopping anytime soon.
I found the studio while hunting on Facebook for specialty summer camps for my kiddos. My daughter loved camp and had such a great experience that she begged to have her birthday party there. When I tell you these girls had an awesome time, I’m not exaggerating.
Bachelorette & private parties at VB Aerial Arts Collective
VB Aerial Arts Collective 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 VB Aerial Arts Collective
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.
