Adult Aerial Session
Train, refine, and elevate your aerial skills with guest instructor Hannah Risner!
Class Description
This Silks & Lyra workshop with professional aerial coach and performer Hannah Risner is designed for a range of skill levels (ages 18+), with progressions and options to meet you where you are. The workshop will focus on building strength and refining technique. On silks, we’ll explore a variety of climbs, introduce drops with appropriate progressions, and connect movements through choreography—emphasizing efficiency and control in the air. On lyra, we’ll dive into spin and momentum, helping you develop fluidity, confidence, and body awareness. Please wear fitted leggings and a shirt that can be tucked in, avoid jewelry, and bring water to drink. About the Instructor: Hannah Risner moved to New York City in 2007 after graduating from Wayne State University in Detroit with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Performance. Initially immersed in the contemporary dance scene, she spent several years exploring her artistic path while training in aerial silks on the side—what began as a personal creative outlet quickly became a defining focus. After a year of dedicated training, she landed a harness performance in Las Vegas in 2010, marking the beginning of her career in aerial arts. Performing in the air opened up new dimensions for her physically, creatively, and emotionally. Hannah has since performed internationally throughout Asia, the Caribbean, and across the United States. Her performance credits include renowned venues such as House of Yes, The Slipper Room, and The Borgata Hotel and Casino, among others. She also appeared in The Greatest Showman as part of the film’s stunt team. Looking ahead, she aims to produce her own original show.
