Aerial is something I have always wanted to do but have never had the courage to try. I thought it was beautiful to watch, but something I would never be graceful enough to be able to do myself. I was always kind of clumsy and never really elegant in dance or anything of that nature. I was so nervous to try and learn, but I was so amazed by the elegance and by the beauty of the type of dance that I just had to give it a shot!
To my surprise I actually was able to slowly ease into it with the help of their very patient instructors and learn at my own pace. I feel like I am becoming much more confident than I have ever been! My body is becoming a version of myself I did not think I would ever be able to see! I can wear a swimsuit with confidence now, which I have not been able to do in years, if ever. I feel so empowered and like I am becoming a better version of myself than I ever have been before. I am starting to memorize the moves with the help of the instructors. I have always struggled with memorizing things but they really come down to your level and show you multiple times until you get it. They don’t push you past what you are comfortable with, but at the same time they uplift and motivate you to do what they know you are capable of!
It is such a fun atmosphere and the ladies there are all so supportive of one another. They never make you feel bad if you can’t get a move right away, and instead show you in different ways until you are able to get it down! It is truly something I am beyond glad that I decided to try. I am finding myself to be more graceful than I thought I would be and learning new moves I never would have thought I could pull off. It truly is such a fun place to come to and makes me truly want to continue in my health journey every day. It makes me excited to see a whole new chapter in my life starting and gaining more confidence than I have ever had before.
