    Silks 2 - Intermediate class with Lydia Lara on Wednesdays!
    Osula L.

    This place is so amazing that I'm struggling to find words to describe it and I don't even know where to start. I guess I'll start off by saying that I'm hardcore into aerial silks. I'm not a pro but I'm not a beginner either (although if I take more than a 2-week break from aerial, I'll go back to being a beginner). I started coming here about a year into my aerial silks journey which was a little over a year ago. I had been taking the "Silks 2" classes at Aerial House in Alhambra at the time and, thinking they were the same thing, I signed myself up for the "Silks 2 - Intermediate" class at W&B as my first class. Boy was that a mistake. They were doing Wheeldowns as a warm-up and, at that time, I had never done a Wheeldown in my life let alone climb silks that high. I hadn't done aerial silks with such high ceilings before. Thankfully, everyone there was very nice and Kerry Wee modified her class plans to fit my skill level. My advice to you is to take their "Introduction to Aerial Arts" class if you've never taken any aerial before and go from there. If you have taken aerial before, I'd go to one of their level one "Beginner" classes and at the end of it, if you're still unsure, speak with the instructor regarding which class level you should be in. Before the "Safer at Home" order, I was going to their "Silks 2 - Intermediate" classes twice a week and I LOVED it. Now that we're all stuck at home, I've been taking their $5 online aerial fitness classes you can do at home without any equipment requirements. Before all this COVID-19 stuff, I was signed up for their Performance Lab and was scheduled to do a silks routine at their student recital in May. It's been canceled/postponed now but I'll definitely be on the lookout for future student recital opportunities. If you're considering W&B for your aerial needs, here's my breakdown. Pros: - very high ceilings so you can do multiple drops without having to climb up the silk after each drop - focuses on choreography for both amateur and professional aerial performances - they have four apparatus rigs in each class which, I hear, is a lot in the aerial community - offers lots of discounts if you subscribe to their emails - usually offers one or two student recitals each year, that are open to all levels, which is great practice performing in front of a live audience - extremely talented peers to learn from and look up to - accepts ClassPass, which is an even better deal than buying their 90min 10-class pack - they teach a wide range of aerial classes for all different levels and apparatuses: (1) aerial silks levels 1-3; (2) hoop levels 1-2; (3) hammock levels 1-2; (4) beginner straps; (5) aerial rope: (6) dance trapeze; (7) beginner flexibility; (8) intermediate mixed apparatus [we did the cloud swing the other week!]; (9) 2-hour open gyms Cons: - can be weak on teaching the foundational elements if you're just starting out in your aerial journey when there are more advanced students in the classes - their 90min 10-class packages expire if you don't use it within three months - their membership packages require a 12-month contract Hope this helps! See you up in the air!

    YTWL? Because in addition to a workout you're developing a skill. Additionally unlike a conglomerate gym these classes don't send you off to hurt yourself with equipment and no instruction. These world class instructors will guide you through an engaging series of warm ups that will show you how to use gravity instead of weights for the most effective work out/stretch session you've ever had. Then the real fun begins. Gymnastics meets insanity in the air. "START HERE!" Is the name of one of their amazing classes that shows off what this studio has to offer. I tried the class for several reasons: I wanted to be more fit, It looked like fun, I felt I needed a class/PT to kick my butt and encourage me into working out, My chiropractor told me I needed to strengthen my core and inversions(hanging upside down) would help a prior injury, I wanted to build my community, and I think it's sexy. I've been going for a month now. I've lost weight, impressed my friends, showed up my enemies (lol), gained self confidence, learned more about my body, and become more flexible! I couldn't do a pull up before I started the class now I do them for fun. If any of this sounds like a good time to you, don't hesitate. The experience will be well worth it.

    It took just one visit to become hooked on this studio. I first took the "START HERE!" Class with the super knowledgeable instructor Kerry Wee. Love that they offer this because you are able to try all of the apparatuses and see what best suits you. I felt a strong pull towards Lyra so I took the Monday "HoopLA 1" class with Amanda Ritchie and now I have a new found passion. Amanda is such an incredible teacher. She has an extensive resume with so much experience and it shows through her teaching. You leave doing things you had no idea you can do. The atmosphere she has created is so supportive. I LOVE THIS CLASS.

    Most people don't understand or think twice about rigging in an aerial studio, they just assume everything is safe....

    Amazing! I've done a few classes at another pole studio in north Hollywood, but I felt like I…read morewasn't picking up on the craft as quickly as I wanted to so I started researching private lessons and that's when I came across Opolence's IG page. Trippy's energy radiates through a screen and I was immediately interested in being coached by him. I had my first lesson last night and WOW!!!!! I left the studio so giddy and excited. I am TERRIBLE at pole but it has become so addicting for me and trippy made me feel so comfortable about my skill level and allowed me to feel safe in my space. Since I've done all the research for this, -no, you will not find a better coach for a better price anywhere near here. Trust me. To be fair, I go to the other studio because it's quite literally .5 minutes walking distance from my house and they offer open pole (so does this place) so it allows me to practice what I've learned with trippy on a regular basis. Otherwise, Opolence is my go to for good now!

    Love Trippy! He has such a fun approach to teaching. One thing that sets this studio apart is the…read morecreativity that Trippy provides. You not only learn the standard moves, but you also get to learn different and creative entries or exits that you don't really see elsewhere. His experience as a performer is translated well into his teaching style and I would recommend this studio to anyone looking for that. He also does a great job of encouraging and pushing everyone to safe limits. Very tight knit and homey environment. Looking forward to learning more here.
