What is your cancellation policy?
All fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. Once payment has been made for the session we cannot refund you halfway through if your circumstances change. Many of the classes rely on meeting numbers to run, once you sign up you are committed to that session, membership or workshop. If you have not paid in full before the session commences you will not be permitted to participate in class until you have completed the payment.
For drop in classes (Aerial Yoga and Open Gym) clients may cancel 24 hours prior to the class time and recieve a credit back on their account.
I have no upper body strength, can I still join?
Yes! We have beginner levels in multiple apparatus including silks, hammock, pole, and hoop, that are designed for complete beginners with no previous aerial experience. We start right from the beginning. For aerial silks we work in knot formation close to the ground which allows you to learn the fundamental tricks while building strength. All beginner classes will use aerial specific conditioning and aerial climbing to help you develop strength
Do I need to be able to do a pull up?
No! The program is based on learning tricks with your body weight supported, either in the silks knot, hammock, or hoop. You will gain aerial-specific strength as you progress. Being able to do a pull up or lift heavy weights will not replicate the grip strength that we will be using. Although body weight exercise and training outside of the class will be beneficial to aid you in your progression, participating in aerial training will get you strong for aerial.
I’m not flexible and can’t do the splits, will I be able to learn the tricks?
Yes! We welcome everyone from all walks of life, you don’t need to have previously been a gymnast or dancer or be extremely flexible to learn circus.
Am I too old to start an activity like this?
Absolutely not. A large proportion of the circus community across the world choose to get into circus in their adult lives and most of our members who start their first class with Treeline Aerial are in their thirties or forties. It’s never too late the start!
What should I wear?
For silks, hammock, yoga, straps, and hoop, please wear leggings or a tight pant on the bottom. We recommend cotton as some lycra fabrics can be slippery on the silk. On the top, wear a tight fitted tank top. We also recommend bringing a long-sleeved shirt to prevent fabric burns in the armpits.
For pole, please wear shorts and a top or sports bra. All participants can wear what makes them feel good and comfortable. However, we do ask that shorts are short or can be pulled up to allow the upper thigh to grip the pole; skin on pole contact makes it infinitely easier to grip!
Also note that for the safety of our equipment and to avoid rips, tears or scratched on the apparatus, please avoid wearing anything with zips, buttons or anything that could snag the fabric or scratch the pole. Socks and all jewellery should be removed before using the equipment.
Please bring a water bottle; we do not have a water fountain at the studio. No glass water bottles.
You can also bring a notebook to take notes during the class and your phone to take videos at the end.
What should I bring?
Can guys come to the class?
Of course, we promote the class to all genders and have had men in many of our programs.
I have previous aerial experience can I just come and use the facility to train?
The facility is not available for use without a qualified instructor present. If you do not wish to join an instructional class then we run open drop-in training sessions to accommodate both class and non-class members to have non-instructional training time. We will post info on our site regarding dates and times of these sessions or sign up for our newsletter.
