CLASSES
Acrobatics
In these classes we give you the tools to safely learn technically correct, basic gymnastics skills & translate them into unique acrobatic movements or characters appropriate for your level & goals.
Float Fitness & Aerial Yoga
Flow, get strong and have some fun.
These classes are strengthening and lengthening, with moments of flight and always a sense of play. Most classes are open to all levels with plenty of modifications to work as deeply or lightly as you want.
Harness Flying
Whether you’re a novice adventurer or professional performer. We teach flying harness for your skill level; for audition training, or just for a fun one time experience
Due to our small class sizes and the personal nature of our studio if no one is signed up for group fitness classes by 9pm the night before then 10am classes will be canceled. So sign up in advance! :)
Rehearsals & Classes are in play right now
A new version of our show 'Breaking Surface’ will be coming soon
“I love taking classes that tone my body and soul without realizing how hard I'm working. Gwyn and Bill create a safe and fun environment for learning such a unique skill. I was so surprised how quickly I could learn new choreography and tricks with them. I really appreciate their years of experience in dance, acrobatics, and performance. I highly recommend this class!”
—Suzanne Boothby, Writer, Health Coach, Adventurer at Heart
“Taking class with Gwyn and Bill is a wonderful, inspiring and fun experience. They are kind, professional and safe. Both are incredible movers, especially Gwyn, when she flies effortlessly with Bill's support it is like watching something straight out of heaven. The air awareness looks easier than it actually is, but the time you're able to experiment makes it possible to SEE progress. A warm, enjoyable, affordable experience that I would recommend to anyone wanting to Fly.”
—Paige Allison, Stunt Woman
"To take Flying Classes with Gwyn and Billy is transforming. You can confront your fears of heights or being upside down because their gentle guidance and encouragement fuels you. I felt emotional being that free up in the air. I wish I could do it everyday. “
—Evita Arce, Swing dancer and Teacher at michaelandevita.com
“Flying with Billy and Gwyn at 5th Wall is a joyous exploration of the art of the impossible. For me, the vulnerability I feel aerial dancing is what makes my expression feel more grounded, no irony intended. Bill and Gwyn create a safe space for that vulnerability, and I am free to explore.”
—Jessica Krueger, Professional Dancer, Acrobat
