Prepping for Aerial Silks Class at Ascend Aerial Arts

Have the following ready before your FIRST Aerial CLASS:

  1. New Students must confirm attendance 2 days before the first class by responding to the email reminder. Note: COVID vaccinations will continue to be strongly recommended, but they will no longer be required as of Jan 8, 2024.
  2. In addition to signing the online waiver, all new students (or their parent/guardian) must sign the Aerial Release & Covid Agreement. You may sign electronically and return the doc to us via email OR come to the studio to sign.
  3. Arrive on time – come at least 15 minutes before class starts.  A full warm-up is necessary for injury prevention and improves your ability to perform the all of the exercises in the class.

If we do not receive your attendance confirmation via email reply at least 2 days before the class start date, your spot will be given to someone on the waitlist and you may lose your class credit.

What to bring to class?

  • Yoga Mats and/or Large Towel are recommended.
  • Bring your water bottle to stay hydrated!  We offer filtered water for refills.
  • Cubicles are available to store your belongings.
  • Face Masks worn during class are optional

What do I wear & not wear for aerial classes?

  • NO “Metal” Policy. All students are asked to remove all jewelry before coming to class including rings, earrings, piercings, bracelets etc.,
  • NO ZIPPERS PLEASE! Wear clothing without metal parts (e.g. zippers) it may cause injury or snag the fabric while you are performing.  If jewelry cannot be removed it must be covered with sports tape.
  • Wear tops that are secure and that can be tucked in.
  • Wear leggings. Be sure your pants have a secure waist – loose waistbands may get pulled off by the fabrics. DO NOT wear shorts WITHOUT leggings or tights underneath!
  • Be aware of holes or sheer fabrics near the crotch of pants (this happens more often than you think, so check out your pants/shorts)

How do I get to the studio?

GPS may have a hard time locating us. We are located at 836 Brittan Avenue, San Carlos, CA 94070, directly across the street from the REI in San Carlos and behind A3 Tile! FIRST driveway off the US 101 Highway Southbound – BRITTAN EXIT.

What to do when I get to the Studio?

  • Wash your hands & remove your shoes before stepping out onto the studio floor

IMPORTANT: If a student is late beyond the 15 minute warm-up, the instructor may ask the late arriving student to observe only and NOT participate that day.  Students that arrive late beyond the warm-up and asked not to participate by an instructor may NOT makeup in another class.

There may not be enough time for the student to warm up, watch the instruction to learn and perform effectively what’s being asked of them during class.
