We offer beginner and intermediate level classes that will help build strength and increase flexibility. This class is perfect cross training for pole or aerial silks students, but no experience is necessary to attend your first class.

Emily G

Emily loves all aspects of aerial dance but, when it comes to choreography, she prefers to keep it slightly more aggressive. She likes fast paced, high silk climbing with dramatic drops. She loves aerial silks because of the endless possibilities that they provide to express yourself. You can be great at floor work and incorporate a lot of it in your routines. Or you can be awful at floor work and focus more on aerial tricks. Your dance style can be graceful or aggressive, or a mix of both. The creativity is endless!

Emily started doing aerial silks as a fun, easy way to work out because she hated going to the gym. She had no idea how much it would become a part of her life! She has been doing aerial silks since 2012 and teaching since 2015. She hopes that her students gain the tools they need to find their own style of dance, while also pushing their limits to conquer routines and transitions that they may not master right away.

Outside of aerial silks, Emily loves her pets and rescuing fur babies. She likes to ride her motorcycle and she also has three kids who take up most of her time. They spend their weekends camping, fishing, and boating. She has a bachelor’s degree in Biology from Cleveland State University and really just loves anything science related.

Rachael

Rachael’s aerial style is dramatic. She loves to dance to darker song lyrics to show there is grace through life’s toughest times. She started her aerial journey with pole dance because she wanted to exercise in a way that created art. For a long time she struggled with severe depression and with the help of pole she was taken off of medicine and found joy in every aspect of life. Rachael’s favorite thing about aerial arts is the expression of love for one’s self. She learned to love herself through depression because of pole. She wants to share that love with her students and hopes that her students feel encouraged in class. She wants them to know that they are capable of amazing things they did not know they could do. Rachael has been involved in aerial arts since 2015 and started teaching in the spring of 2017.

Outside of Be Fitness, Rachael enjoys knitting, adventuring to new places, trying new foods and working to make others’ lives more fulfilling. She also loves to design clothing and studied fashion at the University of Akron.

Iris

I started taking Lyra classes in January of 2018. After I took that first class I signed up for the studio’s first aerial workshop. It was A LOT harder than the class I had taken and I started to get frustrated that I just wasn’t going to get it. I stuck through it when another student said to me  “it’s just the moves that are getting harder” and it gave me a perspective that really got me through. The very first class I had taken at the studio was for aerial silks yoga and then a couple of beginner pole classes. When I was leaving one evening, I saw a lyra hoop setup and it just spoke to me, you know? The instructor had said this is the lyra and it hurts when you’re on it, but you should try it!  After that class I felt like I had finally found my apparatus! By the end of class we had a routine that we could record ourselves doing and I was just hooked after that. 

I completed my Aerial Hoop Professional Teacher Training certification in August of 2019. I began teaching in January of 2020, almost exactly two years after I had taken my first Lyra class! I was stirred to start teaching after some positive feedback I had gotten after my showcase performance. “Teach me your ways”, is what a fellow performer had said to me after I performed to Queen’s “I Want To Break Free.” It was during a time of great transition, loss and growth that I decided to go for it! I started teaching to sitr others on to see what their bodies and minds can accomplish, even if just for an hour. I would like my students to feel strong, light and free. I guess I would say that my class is dance based.  I like to put moves together in a sequence. I think it helps to teach a couple of moves that flow into each other when you are learning. I feel it gives you a bigger picture of the whole craft. 
 
Outside of class I am raising an eleven year old boy who teaches me a lot about myself, the world we live in and how to stay relevant haha! I am a cat mom to Cove Diddy Pumpkin. (that’s his full name) lol. 
I am an Enrollment Specialist at Orchard Park Academy. I ride my bike and skateboard on occasion. I knit but have not yet graduated beyond making scarves. I am a Black Lives Matter ally. Born and raised in Cleveland. Lakewood High School Alumnae. Recovering perfectionist. 😉
