AerFire AerFire is an aerial arts studio. We are growing into dance, music, and theater.

Our aerial arts are based in up to date exercise science to ensure our aerialists can fly for a lifetime of hobby or career aerial performance art. Paula is obsessed with applying exercise science within the field of aerial arts to create safe, healthy, and FUN aerial training with longevity. She is also a classically trained soprano who approaches vocal technique with an athletic bent to build purposeful choices in technique.

Update on the space. We have a beautiful doorway!!!

Thank you Isaac Van Kuren. It's gorgeous!

Stay tuned for more updates as we finish out Aerial Studio 2. I have a major delivery from across the ocean coming this week. πŸŽ‰ I've been shopping for these items, deciding carefully, for YEARS.

This room may take 6-12 months to fully be realized. I am savoring each new thing because this is truly dreams come true for me!

If you cannot find me, I am definitely in my happy space or at home recovering from too much aerial time. πŸ’“

I did some sleuthing to pick a playlist to choreo. I've got a Lyra flow that I hope Morgan Oakley DeGroot is going to love. Very throw back. Very new. Very memory lane but in a "Now we are grown women" kind of way. Our grandmothers would definitely not approve. 😘

This will be a fun event, but more importantly, your attendance helps fund everything Morgan needs to go through this process and recover strong.

She's worth it.

I'll be donating all my arm strength to Morgan on October 3. If anyone has a spare kidney, that would be fabulous.

If you want to check out her FB page and like and share her events, super awesome!!!

Official Morgan's Kidney Harvest Festival Flier Drop!
Imagined and designed by Morgan herself, we think this is going to be the best event yet! Mark you calendars for our FINAL EVENT IN THE SERIES on October 3rd πŸ™‚

Into trivia? Our next pop-up is September 27th at Pour Bros for a Sunday Funday Trivia Event!

Stay Tuned!

What do you call this evil twin of the Nordic curl? I'm going with the Barre Intensity vocab on this one, thigh dancing. It's such a lovely name for such a brutal quad killer.

Aerialists! All those back bendy shapes need flexy quads and hip flexors. Thigh dancing is a great way to bring the heat before we stretch!

Barre method = heat it stretch it. Heat it stretch it. Repeat.

If you want to actually gain flexibility, this is premium work. Bonus for building stability too, because true flexibility is strength at the end range of motion.

It's not easy. But it's effective.

Join us Saturdays at 3pm and Thursdays at 10am.

This may not look like much, but this is actually one of the more difficult skills to teach. The alligator roll at the end of this video is kinda crazy. You have to be aware of every muscle head to toe, coordinating this thing is insane.

No worries though. We can break up the skill into small parts and work little by little.

AerFire boasts several students who can alligator roll better than me. πŸŽ‰ Come train and join that list! Ha!

But seriously...

We are meeting upstairs in the new dance studio today.

Focus of the day is split strength. We will get a good full body workout, scaffolded for each individual person. We will hit hamstrings and hip flexors aggressively and enjoy a lovely stretch sesh at the end of class.

Hey, Aerialists, we cannot forget about our legs. 🦡

We tend to think shoulders when we think about aerial work, but our legs take a surprising amount of the work. I think (my opinion) that legs and hips are more likely to get imbalanced in aerial if we aren't mindful.

This 4-way lunge is simple, easy to learn, easy to implement, (not necessarily easy to do), simple to add load by adding a weighted vest. And it takes one leg at a time so we can suss out any differences between right leg and left leg.

I recommend doing 4-way lunges once a week.
