Training

Open Studio is drop-in aerial training time that’s monitored but unsupervised. A staff member is present to ensure rules and safety are followed, but there is no instructor to direct or correct you.

Open Studio is ideal for practicing skills you’ve already learned, rehearsing acts, and training alongside aerial friends. This is not for learning brand new skills or practicing skills you’re uncertain about. These activities should be done with a coach present in class or during private lessons.

Requirements

• Primarily 18+
  • Youth ages 16–17 may be considered with at least 1 year of New Moon training
  • Teens trained elsewhere must take a few private lessons or a class session first
• Beginners must have completed the ABC Series or equivalent
• Approval required at first visit via a short, free assessment
• All participants must sign a liability release (online form available)

Equipment

All equipment and space are shared during Open Studio. There is no reserving equipment or pulley points.

If you want guaranteed time on a point or apparatus, arrange a Point Rental instead (more below).

Do you need some time to train outside of open gym hours? Experienced New Moon students can rent a single point to train on for $15/hr.

To qualify for point rental access, you must have at least 2 years of aerial experience, you must be approved by management, and you must be trained on studio rigging practice and rental rules.

Contact info@newmoonmovementarts.com to arrange a point rental training session.

All renters must read the Studio Renters’ Handbook and sign the rental agreement. Anyone using aerial equipment during a rental must be approved by management and have signed a liability waiver.

Do you need more space than a single point? Each of our rooms can be rented in its entirety for students needing more than 1 point to train on. This is a great option for group acts or classmates wanting to train together.
