How Do I Start Aerial at Refuge?

Welcome! This is a guide for anyone looking to take classes with us at Refuge Aerial. Whether you are brand new with no experience, have trained somewhere else, or are just passing through, this is for you!

Brand new? Hi there :)

Our Intro to Aerial class is the perfect place to start for anyone who is brand new to aerial or has taken a break for a while and needs a refresher. In this Intro class, we cover the foundations of shoulder engagement, foot knots, and inversions (going upside-down!). This is a low-impact, fun fitness class that gets you out of your head and into your body. And the beauty of it is that you take this class just ONE time and then you can sign up for any of our Level 1, Level 1/2, or All Level classes!

Got experience? Welcome!

If you’ve been actively training at another studio or have experience from past training, an assessment will be your best first step with us. An assessment is a 30-minute private lesson where one of our instructors walks you through a series of skills to assess which level classes would best benefit and challenge you. One assessment is $30 and can be scheduled at a time that works best for you, as our instructors are available.

If you’re only in Louisiana for a short time but would like to visit, please do! We recommend private lessons or open gym point rentals. Private lessons are $65 for one hour and can be given on any apparatus for any experience level. One-hour open gyms are also available as well as point rentals, which can vary in the time needed but can be arranged for experienced aerialists. Feel free to use our equipment or bring your own!
