- Long time no upload! I've been busy with teaching and starting a new job but I finally found time to film and edit this one.
In this video I walk through the curriculum I teach to my level 1 lyra students and show some videos from my early days an aerialist. I'll walk you through what to wear and bring and what to expect as far as struggles and soreness.
This is part 1 of what I want to be a 3 part series walking through what to expect in your first silks class and with the 3rd being what to expect in your first pole dance class.

Can you imagine if we had someone making videos like this when we first started?? Game changer.
Thank you for this! I went to my first Lyra class tonight. I wasn't able to get up into the hoop yet but I know with consistency I'll get there.
So super informative. Thank you! I’ve done level one pole for a few months. I can already relate to much of what you are saying.
Thank U, for talking about What to Expect when taking An Ariel Class👍Informative & Candid👌❤️
I'm 35, figure skater since always, and I love doing aerial silks
Yesss i love that! I used to think we were so limited on time but we've got a lot longer than I used to think
This was super helpful. I've been taking pole for about 8 months now, and I'm thinking about starting Lyra next. I can relate to what you're saying.
That's awesome! I'm glad you found it helpful! Hopefully you love lyra as much as pole♥️
Thanks for the advice
I remember when I first went on top bar I could just lift myself up everyone was in awe
I did a duo act last week and the crowd went wild when my partner inverted to the top bar! Folks think its scary from the audience haha
@@aerial.allison9063 just do a drop or pop into a split and the crowd goes wild
We did mostly conditioning my first lyra session. I am very weak and my muscles were shaking and very sore by the time I got to actually touch the hoop. I felt I didn't even have enough strength to actually use the hoop by the end of class. I was so sore the next few days I haven't been able to continue any conditioning on my own. Do you have any tips for a beginner?
Just keep going back! It can be discouraging at first but you'll make progress so much faster than you think you will
I felt the same way in my first few weeks of silks, too tired to do anything after warm up climbs🥵
Workout with strength training in between classes. I took pole dance and had to start working out to gain strength so I could keep up with the new moves
Aloha, do you recommend getting a single or a double loop lyra for a beginner, and the wider or the standard width of the bar? Thank you~
Either one would be fine! I've never worked on a double tab hoop except for a couple times but one isn't harder than the other, just different tricks available! I'd go with a standard width bar
Hi there Allison! Thank you for your video. I am almost 200 pounds or I think I’m already there and I want to lose weight through dancing. Will this type of dance help me lose weight? I saw my favorite artist doing lyra and I became so inspired because it’s such a beautiful dance. I just wanted to know if this will help me lose weight. Thank you
It would in the long run because you'd be building muscle, its not gonna be a quick change or as fast as doing cardio or lifting weights, but if it's something you're interested in and have fun doing then it will be much more effective than trying to something you don't like!
@@aerial.allison9063 okay! Thank you so much 💓💓
Hey, since you’re in the Cincinnati area, what do you think about the Cincinnati Circus? I’ve spoken with them recently because they’re hiring. Do you happen to know if it’s a good organization to work for as a performer?
I actually started there as a student! My early video clips are in their warehouse
They have very mixed reviews, I've still got friends there who really enjoy it and say its gotten a lot better and I have friends who have quit and didn't have a great experience
lol, Lyra does hurt more than expected at first 😅How many years into your aerial journey did you start teaching?
More than I expected it to for sure😂3 years give or take a couple months
Nice if someone told me this when I started Lyra😛
Thats why I'm starting this channel! So I could make the content I wanted to see haha
Im a complete beginner and im not sure if silks is better to start with or hoop?
I say start with whatever your drawn to! They both have perks and cons and cross training both eventually will help you gain different strengths
Just by curiosity can a person who is blind do this or is there a safety liability?
Ive never had a blind student but I have seen acts where people do it blindfolded, I am 100% sure that a blind human could do this safely with the right guidance, definitely a private lesson so they can get the entire focus of the instructor
@@aerial.allison9063 thank you for answering my question.
@@aerial.allison9063 Why did you say blind human?
I’m a blind person
@mollyburke has done silks and she's blind. Could totally do it!
Does anyone use gloves 🧤? That would make sense. They wear gloves for golf ⛳, weight training.
Some people do! The same gloves youd use for weight lifting I think. Most of my students do just try to get the calluses and then they can train longer and longer, it takes a couple weeks for your hands to stop feeling like fire haha
