  Review of Charly McCreary , November 09, 2008

  I took Beginning Aerial Dance class two years ago and am now an intermediate level student. As with many people who take this class, I had no idea what to expect. On day one, Charly managed to get everyone off the ground and having fun right away, including students from dance, sport, gymnastic, and non-athletic backgrounds. I was amazed what we could do by the end of the first hour. I liked that her attention to student safety was meticulous and consistent. The only time I was scared was on realizing the class included dance improvisation! Because Charly cultivates a friendly and supportive class atmosphere, the improvising turned out to not be a big deal at all. In fact, it was fun. I am completely hooked on aerial dance thanks to Charly!

  Review of Charly McCreary , November 07, 2008

  I took Charly's beginning aerial class, thinking it would be like circus trapeze. To my delight it was more like Cirques Du Soleil. This class is for all levels. Novices, experienced dancers and gymnists will all love this class alike. Charly is an incredible trapeze teacher everyone in the class is extremely helpful and nice. It is a very safe and comfortable environment. I am now taking all of the classes she offers, from continuing trapeze, sling, hoop and fabric!
