CLASS PROGRESSION & PREREQUISITES
Introductory Classes
All of our Intro classes are designed for complete beginners with no prior experience required. Once you’ve built a solid foundation and feel confident in those base skills, you’re ready to level up.
Silks & Trapeze: After your Intro class, you are eligible for Continuing Silks & Trapeze Level 1 classes (1A and 1B)
Hoop & Sling: We generally recommend repeating the Intro class at least once to build strength and confidence before advancing to Continuing Hoop & Sling Level 1.
Continuing & Specialty Classes
Any class title that begins with “Continuing” indicates that specific prerequisites or prior experience are required before enrolling.
Once you move past the Intro stage:
You may have several Continuing or Continuing Level 1 paths or time slots to choose from depending on your apparatus and experience. Once you’ve completed all of the Level 1 classes (if there are multiple), talk to your instructor about moving on to Level 2.
Specialty & Off-Curriculum Classes: Keep an eye out for unique, themed, or off-curriculum offerings. These often have specific skill requirements, so read the class description carefully to ensure you meet the prerequisites before signing up.
