AerFire

AerFire AerFire is an aerial arts studio. We are growing into dance, music, and theater.

Our aerial arts are based in up to date exercise science to ensure our aerialists can fly for a lifetime of hobby or career aerial performance art. Paula is obsessed with applying exercise science within the field of aerial arts to create safe, healthy, and FUN aerial training with longevity. She is also a classically trained soprano who approaches vocal technique with an athletic bent to build purposeful choices in technique.

Lottie Prather on vocals 🔥

Lottie trained voice with me for four years before moving off to study musical theater and costume design.

I'm in awe of how her voice has grown in power and strength! It's one of life's greatest joys to see your students move on, higher up and further in, into their own path.

I'm honored to share these moments!

Summer Circus Camp 🎪 kids are workshopping Rapunzel with the help of Lottie Prather and myself.

How would the evil Enchantress carry a baby up to the tower??? Probably just like that. ✨

I can't wait to show off what the kids are creating!
Mark the calendar for August 1.

I was walking through movement patterns to warm up when my song came on. 🎶 You can take the girl out of the musical, but you can't take the musical out of the girl. 💓

Imagine what could be if Fosse had Lyra to choreo!?!?! This number would absolutely dominate on Lyra. I envision a stage full of Lyra, poles, and lollipops. Ah. We should do it.

Who's in? Let's do it.

Pull-ups. Do more pull-ups. My answer to most questions in the aerial studio "it's a pull up"

Fun fact: each repetition of a child 'just playing' in hammock goddess pose builds towards successful cross back straddles.

Adults: if you are struggling with this inversion, play more in the skills you have. I know 'just go play' is intimidating or feels like a waste of time, but it's the best way to train those muscles!

L - sits are also great training for the inversion...😈 Go play or do a dozen L-sits. 😂😈😂

Warning: super-bendy people can cheat the system here and back bend over the silk. We want to avoid that. It is a bad, dangerous habit. Imagine dropping like that!?!?! Noooo!!!! We need to train safe body mechanics!

Just one illustration of the reason it's so important to train aerial with a fitness professional who knows aerial, and not just DIY this stuff.

This wrap is easy to figure out from a video. Training the body is the real work. 💪

This video is for my AerFire people. Bring your hips up. Don't let the silk squeeze you into a back bend. Straddle should be horizontal, and then it is pretty easy to just whoop up and over.

If it feels like you have to power over, drill the low abs in the cross back wrap.

I know I know, but it works.

Just hold your straddle. So simple. Yet, so difficult.
