About the name: AerialWorks
The name AerialWorks has dual meaning. The first meaning has to do with creating aerial works. At the heart of our studio is our quarterly productions (Oct, Dec, Mar & May). We create opportunities for students to be a part of performances, as well as invite guest artists to come show new and innovative aerial work. We love exploring how aerial art can be used in fun ways to create entertaining shows.
The second meaning is derived from a sustainability perspective. Doing aerial works. Meaning it will work your body in every way imaginable. You are going to be able to do 10 pull ups and have the strongest core imaginable while you barely notice you are working out. This low-impact, brain-working, empowering, motivating, absolutely addicting work will never fail to put anyone in the best shape of their life. And this is why aerial works. It's a life-long art form to study even if solely for fun and fitness.

About Our Studio
|
AerialWorks Castle Rock provides a new way to get a full body workout. You will gain upper body strength you never knew was possible in yourself; a core of remarkable strength; not to mention gains in flexibility as well. Our unique workouts are based on what a performer at Cirque Du Soliel would do to train for a performance, and they are made for the average person. Kids and adults learn how to fly on silks, rope, hoop, trapeze and more. Our Castle Rock studio is packed with adjustable rig points soaring 15-20 feet high, spread out in our warehouse of over 2,700 sq feet. That means you get to do a lot of moving and working! Additionally, we have a very low student-to-teacher ratio, meaning you will get a ton of 1-on-1 attention from our amazing instructors. We pride ourselves in offering a curriculum that allows anyone to participate and enjoy movement in a new way, whether you are a recreational fitness enthusiast, or a mover seeking to perform professionally one day. Our curriculum was written by Rebekah Leach, who has been creating aerial resources for the aerial arts industry for over 10 years. Studios around the world have been formed based on her work, and she can finally stop being jealous of all their studios because now she has one of her own. :) About Our HeartHere at AerialWorks, our goal is to serve God and love others through teaching aerial. You will often hear music praising God because we are so thankful for the gift of movement from God. At age 17, Rebekah felt God telling her she would own a dance studio one day. The foretelling was confusing as she applied to several dance program in college and got rejected by them all. Not surprising since she had never formally been trained. But oh, how she loves to dance and God is always faithful. Aerial entered her life when she was 22 and Rebekah found her dance in aerial!
Rebekah started a professional career in aerial in 2005. In 2009, she was injured with a shoulder injury that caused her to hesitate from pursuit of aerial performance as a career. She turned more than ever to teaching, coaching and writing, where her heart is most happy. Her shoulder injury became a chronic problem with subsequent episodes that culminated to daily pain in 2017, when she was suddenly and dramatically healed from her injury through prayer! Since then, Rebekah has a renewed passion to move again that she hasn't had since she was 17. She loves to pray for people after seeing the miraculous power of the name of Jesus in healing prayer. So, if you ever need prayer, you are always welcome to ask for it!! Prayer is always free. :) At AerialWorks, we seek to provide a place to rest, renew and strengthen our bodies, minds and spirits. We remain, faithfully, in the strong and wonderful GRIP of the Lord. "That's right. Because I, your God, have a firm grip on you and I'm not letting go. I'm telling you, 'Don't panic. I'm right here to help you.'" ~ Isaiah 41:13 MSG ~ We put together AerialWorks in the summer of 2016: |
"I have explored every type of movement art under the sun. At the end of the day, I have identified myself as a lifelong mover. Aerial just happens to be the context in which I finally landed where I find my kinesthetic joy. I just need to get up everyday and rotate my hips in their sockets, roll my shoulders around, get in tune, get in touch, be present, and live mindfully. I invite you to AerialWorks to do the same. You might just find what I found: a connection to an apparatus that is the perfect partner. It is always there for you to lean on, stretch with, pull on, or give you a way to work with gravity so that you can finally work every muscle in your body without using weights or machines to do it. You may reach further into producing work for expression and be inspired to perform! Whatever your movement journey looks like, we hope you will come and find movement contagious."
