Aerial Arts Myths
Fly Studios commits to making aerial arts accessible to any individual who has an open mind to try something new and exciting. We want to take a moment to clear up 3 Big Myths!
Myth: Me do Aerial?! I can’t do that! I have no upper body strength whatsoever!
Truth: There’s no experience necessary! We’ve witnessed students who were not able to do a single pull up are now flipping, spinning, and swinging all over the place!
Myth: Aerial is more for girls and not for guys!
Truth: While it’s true that there is a feminine grace that women may translate into aerial arts, there is also a powerful strength and a dynamic momentum that is found from a male aerialist. Aerial is not gender specific at all!
Myth: There’s no way that piece of fabric can hold my weight, I’m way too heavy.
Truth: Various load testing has shown an aerial fabric to have a breaking load of 1.1 tons! So there’s no more excuses!
