All Apparatus are NOT Created Equal
At Aerial Dance we train on 4 different apparatus: Hoop, hammock, silks, and pole. We also offer specialty workshops with other apparatus like chair and heels (yes, I consider them an apparatus). Each one is unique and has its own special challenges. Each person...
Self Acceptance is Bull*hit
For so many years we have heard that you need to accept yourself. You know what I accept? I accept that my apartment doesn't have a bathtub I can get both knees, both butt cheeks and both boobs all underwater at the same time. But moving is too much work and negates...
Be-You-Tiful
