About Us
Gravity opened in 2017 with the goal of creating a safe and fun space where we can bring the joy of aerial arts to everyone that walks through our doors. At Gravity Aerial Arts we work hard to cultivate an environment where everyone feels welcome! We believe that the transfer of knowledge is best done by creating a community environment to learn and teach in.
We provide high quality aerial dance training opportunities for all skill levels and ages. We believe everyone can and should join the circus! We offer classes, camps, birthday parties, private lessons, private classes workshops and more.
Our instructors are continuously building upon their already extensive aerial knowledge and repertoires. The studio hosts workshops with guest instructors from across the world! We also work with the Denver circus community and the community at large to bring in new perspectives and skills to share with our students.
Performance Opportunities
Learning aerial circus arts is a fun way to exercise, express oneself, and get up on stage! We strive to provide students with lots of performance opportunities. We provide student student showcases and other performance opportunities for all of our students. Gravity produces professional and community based original theatrical aerial productions. We also seek out other community performance opportunities for our students. Gravity instructors and advanced students are available to hire for events.
Safety
Safety is always our primary concern. All sessions begin with a thorough warm-up to help avoid pulling/tearing muscles. All of our equipment is regularly inspected and replaced as needed. The studio is outfitted with 2 inch foam gymnastic flooring throughout with additional skill cushions (mats) under each apparatus. Our instructors are well trained in various safety protocols like proper spotting, appropriate skill progressions, rigging, First Aide, CPR and more. Classes are set up to typically have a 2 student to 1 apparatus ratio. This allows the instructor to watch those that are in the air better, gives the students breaks and allows them to learn from watching their classmates. Our youth classes have a capped ratio of 1 instructor to every 6 students.
