$20 for Two-Hour Try Aerials Workshop ($40 Value)

Participants of all ages and abilities receive a basic but comprehensive introduction to aerials. Sessions may cover the fundamentals of silks, slings, and trapeze with no commitment to future classes. Classes are held on two Saturdays a month, see here for specific dates and times. Participants are encouraged to wear long pants and shirts that cover their armpits, backs of knees, and stomach to avoid rope burn.

Chattanooga Aerials

As she watched the dancers of Canopy Studio Repertory Company twirl and flip using a long cord of aerial silks during their evening performance, Amy Powell knew she wanted to do the same. Less than a year after joining the studio and taking classes, she was asked to perform in one of the company's shows, drawing from former gymnastics training and a natural affinity for high-flying dance to hone her abilities. More than a decade later, she now helms Chattanooga Aerials, located inside Scenic City Dance Center, as the director and head instructor and passes on her skills on silks, slings, and trapezes to all levels of students and budding telephone-company workers under the high ceilings of Scenic City Dance Center.

Amy instills students with a solid aerial foundation while also working to advance abilities toward graceful dancing and strength conditioning. She starts exercises at the lowest possible height to assuage first-timers before teaching dancers to work in tandem, using each other's bodies to perform coordinated moves. She and her fellow teachers can pinpoint the root cause of many of their students' physical limitations and inhibitions and often revise the curriculum or help students with their fears directly, perhaps by doing floor work that translates to the air. Muscles that have grown accustomed to more traditional workouts awaken in each class, and Amy's Something New workshop challenges students further with hybridized methods including aerial yoga and outdoor sessions using trees as aerial gear. When not teaching, she and her staff frequently perform for the community in programs for the children's Creative Discovery Museum and for Nightfall, a downtown concert series.

It's the time of the year when we start listening to holiday songs voluntarily and when the government is pumping them into our bedrooms at night. Here are some classic holiday songs you'll be sure to hear this season:

  • "Santa Walking Down the Avenue"
  • "This Christmas I'm Still in Love with That Fat, Red Man"
  • "Baby Boy Who Brang All the Toys"
  • "Santa Read My List, Here's All the Elves I've Kissed"
  • "A Stranger at the Manger"
  • "Buried in a Snowdrift, Thinkin' 'Bout My Family"
  • "O Guild the Mantel, Ye Happy Adults"
  • "Welcome Winter's Eternal Rest (Jazz Version)"
  • "Toys for Boys, Gifts for Girls, and Coal for Cocky Devils"
