Student of the Month

I saw some people I know post pictures on Facebook and thought it looked amazing! I actually chickened out of the try-it-out class I signed up for, but made myself sign up for an actual class to make sure I went because I knew I would fall in love. I was a pretty recent college grad as well and knew I wanted something to occupy my time outside of work and Netflix and that would actually make me move and get to meet new people.

I've been working with the silks for over a year and a half now, so I'm partial to that but love the lyra as well.

The atmosphere. I have three older sisters and am used to doing things with a buddy, so I was nervous about trying a new activity on my own and felt so welcomed (even though I eventually convinced all sisters to come and try it ;) ). Especially being a part of the showcase team, I really felt a connection to the studio and others who pour their heart and soul into aerial.

Working, hanging out, reading, watching Netflix documentaries, eating, and traveling when I can.

I haven't met a dessert I haven't liked, but really anything with chocolate.

Take a deep breath and not to get down on myself. Even if I can't hit a particular trick that day, I've still done more than sit on the couch all day and the next class will be better.

Superman drop and crossback straddle are my favorites. Shoefly to crossback is my least, but I'm warming up to it.

That's so hard! Can I bring you all?? But I'll say Alison Headley or Cortney Kiefer because they were so great to work with for showcase.

There are so many, but a week or two ago we did different climbs at the end of my Silks 3 class and Jerome told me he could tell I was getting stronger and it completely made my week. I can tell I've been getting stronger the last year and half since starting aerial, but having others able to see it too was really cool.
