All classes are included in your Unlimited Memberships! Here’s a glimpse at what’s new on our schedule:

 

🎉 Basic Silks (Split Panel) with Laura Learn the foundations of aerial silks using two separate fabric panels. This beginner-friendly class focuses on building strength, grip, and body awareness while introducing climbs, foot locks, poses, and simple transitions. Perfect for anyone new to aerial, you’ll gain confidence moving in the fabric and develop the skills needed to progress into more advanced techniques.

 

🥁 POUND® - Drumming Fitness with Leah Rockout. Workout! This class combines cardio, pilates, and choreography with constant simulated drumming – all to loud, kick-ass music. An energizing, infectious, sweat-dripping workout, each strike of the Ripstix releases the happy brain chemicals of mixing sound and movement in synchronized groups. POUND allows you to truly become the music! All Fitness Levels Welcome, No Experience Necessary. Recommended To Bring: Yoga Mat, Earplugs.

 

💪🏽 Siren Sculpt Series with Ann We are excited to introduce Siren Sculpt, a new fitness series designed specifically for pole and aerial athletes who want to build strength, mobility, and control that goes beyond tricks. Each class targets a different area of training: Core (30 minutes of fiery, layered core work to strengthen abs, obliques, glutes, and stabilizers), Legs & Booty (30 minutes of barre-inspired lower-body conditioning for powerful climbs, lifted glutes, and open hips), and Active Flexibility (a 45-minute pole-supported session focused on functional mobility, deeper splits, backbends, and hip openers through strength-based movement). 

 

🕺🏽 Brazilian Fusion Dance With Clarissa Celebrate the joy of movement in this choreography-based class that blends the vibrant spirit of Brazilian dance styles with playful, empowering fusion. Get ready to have fun, relax, and move your body! Whether you're a seasoned dancer or a complete beginner, this class is designed for everyone.

Learn dynamic Brazilian dance steps in a supportive environment designed to let the music and movement melt your stress and worries away. Life is better when you dance!

 

🛌🏽 Sleepy Sirens Yoga with Kade Let your body melt and your mind unwind in this slow, restorative yoga class designed to ease you into deep rest. Sleepy Sirens Yoga invites you to soften every edge, release tension, and reconnect with your breath through gentle stretching, long holds, and soothing transitions. With dim lighting, calming music, and nurturing guidance, this class is your invitation to slow down and sink in. Whether you're recovering from a busy week or preparing for the one ahead, you'll leave feeling grounded, restored, and ready for restful sleep.

 

Join us for our monthly Siren Social! This time we’re turning down the lights and cranking up the glow with Polerskating (roller skating + pole dance fusion) under UV neon lights.

🎨 We’ll have a variety of UV face & body paints available so you can light up the night with glowing designs. Feel free to bring your own roller skates if you’d like to glide around—but skating isn’t required!

💡 Dress in your brightest UV clothing, grab your friends, and come ready for a fun freestyle social night of movement, laughter, and glowing vibes.

✨ Freestyle: The Art of Just Dancing ✨

When it comes to pole and aerial, so much time is spent learning skills, drilling technique, and perfecting choreography. But there’s another side to training that’s just as important — and honestly, a lot more freeing: freestyle.

 

So what is freestyle? It’s simple: no rules, no routines, just raw expression. Freestyle is moving without a set plan. You let the music guide you, follow your instincts, and see where your body takes you. Sometimes it’s messy, sometimes it’s magical — but it’s always real.

 

🌊 Why Freestyle Matters

Freestyle is more than “just winging it.” It’s an important part of becoming a well-rounded dancer and athlete.

🔥 Physical Benefits

• Improves Flow: The only way to get better at connecting moves seamlessly is to practice connecting them.

• Boosts Stamina: Freestyling pushes you to keep moving longer than you might in a drilled combo.

• New Pathways: Without choreography, you stumble into creative transitions and shapes you wouldn’t have planned.

💎 Mental + Emotional Benefits

• Stress Relief: Freestyle lets you shake off the day and release whatever’s weighing you down.

• Emotional Expression: Dance out anger, sadness, joy, or desire — movement is therapy.

• Confidence Builder: You learn to trust yourself, even when you don’t know what’s coming next.

• Presence + Mindfulness: Freestyle demands you be in the moment, responding to music, mood, and body.

✨ Student Spotlight: Sam Randle ✨

Sam took her very first pole class on May 8, 2025 — and she admits, it was rough. “I couldn’t really do anything and seriously considered walking out,” she says. But instead of giving up, she made herself a promise: keep showing up, keep building strength and flexibility, and improve with every class. That decision has transformed not only her training, but her life.

 

Turning 50 inspired Sam to make a bold choice. “I realized I had two options: complain about aches and pains and blame it on getting older… or earn those aches and pains by getting stronger and more fit. I chose the latter. This is my year to focus on ME and crush my fitness goals!” That mindset shift has carried her through early-morning workouts, new challenges on the pole, and plenty of victories along the way.

 

Her favorite classes? The 6:30 am fitness sessions. “They kickstart my day, give me energy that lasts, and still get me to work on time. Plus, they’ve built the strength I need to actually do those cool pole and lyra tricks!” While she loves all the apparatuses, Sam says the flying pole is especially exciting, and she’s currently working on mastering Spider Pose. On Lyra, her favorite shapes are the Moon and Mermaid — especially because of how stunning they look in photos.

 

Beyond the physical progress, training has changed Sam on a deeper level. “I used to be a total people-pleaser who took it personally if someone didn’t like me. Now? Love me or hate me, I’m loving my life — and that’s what matters.” She credits Ann’s honesty and patience, the support of her husband Jesse, and the welcoming studio community for keeping her motivated. Her advice for beginners: “Don’t quit just because it’s hard. Be patient with yourself. You’re stronger than you think, and you belong here.”
