Welcome to Uptown Aerial Arts

The only aerial fitness classes on the Charleston peninsula,

located in the city's hip Uptown district.

Taken from the disciplines of circus arts, aerial fitness is an exciting form of exercise that is both physical and creatively stimulating. Gain self-confidence, strength and flexibility through a powerful workout in the air!

Join us in this inclusive and encouraging atmosphere where you will safely learn the incredible art of aerial fitness. We will teach you how to achieve the muscular control, strength and power you will need to dance in the air.

Our Class

Uptown Aerial is for every body type and fitness level. Absolute beginners are welcome.

At Uptown Aerial, we focus mainly on vertical apparatuses, such as rope and fabric, to get you in the best shape of your life. With this type of fitness workout, you will enjoy a dynamic, fun, artful and intense way to move your body.

It is important to know that one must start at the beginning of their journey and move forward. Those who are regularly active may find it easier, though if you have not used your body in this way before, we'd argue the challenge is one of the best parts of the learning process!

We take safety extremely seriously, classes start from the ground, moving higher up the rope as you get more comfortable. There are tons of skills and fun tricks to come!

My experience with Pam spanned about a year before she moved. In that year, she laid a solid foundation for my aerial training, I learned some serious discipline and some awesome moves! She helped me learn how to expand my boundaries and discover my personal style as an Aerialist. She listened, watched, and found ways to explain things to me in a way that made sense even when I was upside down and all tied up! It was very easy to form a personal relationship with her as she is one of the kindest and most understanding people you will have the pleasure of meeting. Not a single class goes by where I don’t think of a piece of advice she’s given me!
