6points
Rigging points set the limit.
A class is full when every rig is taken. PSM gives each class and room its own capacity, so a room with six points never takes an eighth booking.
Aerial arts studio software
Software for studios that hang from the ceiling.
Schedule silks, lyra, trapeze, straps and hammock classes around your rigging points. Keep drops behind the right prerequisites, collect waivers before anyone leaves the ground, and sell open training, workshops and memberships in one place.

What makes an aerial studio different
Your capacity is bolted to the ceiling.
Locks → drops
Drops need to be earned.
Students work up from climbs and foot locks to wraps and drops. Prerequisites and invitation-only classes keep each skill in the right room.
2coaches
Advanced classes need spotters.
Give each class a lead instructor and a supporting instructor, so the rota shows who teaches and who spots.
By apparatus
Silks, hoops, trapeze and everything rigged.
Some studios teach every apparatus and some specialize in one. Either way, each class gets its own level, capacity and rules.
Aerial silks & tissu
The most common way into aerial. Programs run from climbs and foot locks to wraps and drops. In PSM: put a prerequisite between “Foundations” and “Drops”.
Lyra & aerial hoop
Class size is set by the number of hoops rigged, often at different heights. In PSM: keep low-hoop intro open and put spinning hoop behind a level.
Static trapeze
A strong foundation for other apparatus, often taught in the same room as lyra. In PSM: share the room and capacity rules between both.
Flying trapeze
Small-group sessions on a big rig with safety lines and a catcher. In PSM: keep sessions small, and use waitlists to fill spots when someone cancels.
Straps & rope
Strength-heavy apparatus, usually for experienced students. In PSM: make classes invitation-only or tie them to completed levels.
Hammock, sling & aerial yoga
Low to the ground, friendly to beginners, and popular with people who already do yoga. In PSM: sell drop-ins and packs, then introduce memberships.

The aerial studio playbook
The aerial offers that work, set up in PSM.
| Offer | How studios use it | In PSM |
|---|---|---|
| Intro to aerialone-off taster | A short, low-commitment first session, often trying several apparatus. | An open class or special event with its own capacity and online checkout. |
| Multi-week courses | A 6–8 week progression works better than drop-ins for skill-heavy apparatus. | A multi-session enrollment, paid up front or in a payment plan. |
| Aerial membership | A monthly membership for regulars who train several times a week. | A recurring membership whose category decides which apparatus and levels it covers. |
| Open training | Unsupervised or lightly supervised practice for experienced students. | A members-only class, limited to students who have completed a level. |
| Privates & act creation | One-to-one coaching for performers and students preparing a showcase. | Private lessons and lesson packages. |
| Rig rental | Performers and companies rent rigging time for rehearsals. | Room bookings on the same calendar as your classes. |
| Guest workshops | Visiting artists teach intensives on a single apparatus. | A special event with limited spots and a waitlist. |
From the studio floor
Four habits of well‑run aerial studios.
Tie open training to a completed level.
Open training is only safe for students who know what they’re doing. A prerequisite on the open-training class does the checking for you.
Run courses for skill-heavy apparatus.
Drops and sequences build week on week. A course keeps the same group together and gives you income up front.
Put the waiver in the booking, not at the door.
When the waiver is part of online registration, nobody reaches the rig unsigned and nobody holds up the start of class.
Know about injuries before class starts.
Registration questions can ask about injuries and conditions, so instructors know before a student climbs.
Aerial studio questions
Asked by aerial studio owners.
Can silks and lyra classes have different capacities?
Yes. Every class has its own capacity, and rooms can be set up for each space. A silks class can have six points while a lyra class in the same room has four hoops.
Can I require a level before students join open training?
Yes. Add a prerequisite to the open-training class, or make it available only to certain membership categories.
Can I schedule a spotter as well as the lead instructor?
Yes. Each class can have a main instructor and supporting instructors.
Do students sign waivers online?
Yes. Signed waivers are collected online during registration and saved to the student’s profile.
Can performers rent rigging time?
Yes. Use room bookings for rentals and rehearsals, on the same calendar as your classes.
We run a main studio and a high-ceiling venue. Is that supported?
Yes. Multiple locations are supported, at $40 a month for each additional location.
