Much like pole dancing, which caught on a decade or so ago as an alternative workout, in recent years aerial classes have also become a fun way to move your body instead of hitting the gym. However, unlike Montreal and Seattle, which are the homes to Cirque du Soleil and Acrobatic Conundrum respectively, Austin isn’t quite bursting at the seams with aerial exhibitions. In the capital city, there are a handful of studios and performance groups, but the art form is still relatively under the radar compared to the plethora of live music, dance and theatre shows Austinities enjoy year-round. These three aerial artists are hoping to change that.
