Laché Movement Co.: Aerial, Dance and Parkour Classes

Laché Movement Co. is an aerial sports center, dance school and gym at 8868 Research Blvd #701 in Austin, TX 78758. The name comes from parkour, where “laché” means “to let go,” and the studio uses that idea to encourage students to let go of fear and doubt when they try something new. The class list is wide. You can choose from aerial arts such as trapeze, silks and lyra, or from dance, pole, parkour, obstacle training, acrobatics, acroyoga, tumbling, flexibility and contortion. Classes are open to all levels, from beginners to advanced students. One example is Contortion Level 1, a program for ages 16 and up that focuses on keeping joints mobile without pushing beyond your maximum.

The studio has an open studio area where you can watch other classes before deciding what to sign up for, which helps if you're not sure what suits you. New clients can try three classes for $60 with the intro offer. Opening hours are Monday 5–10 PM, Tuesday 10 AM–12 PM and 5–10 PM, Wednesday 5 PM–12 AM, Thursday 10 AM–12 PM and 5 PM–12 AM, Friday 2–10 PM, and Saturday and Sunday 10 AM–6 PM. Since October 1st, every class needs at least two sign-ups to run, and classes that don't reach that number get canceled. This matters, because some reviews mention frequent pole class cancellations. It's worth checking that your class is still on before you plan your evening.

Customer feedback points to a welcoming community and knowledgeable instructors. The studio also puts on showcases, including “Gods of Old” and the “Neon & Shadow Showcase.” In February, it held the 8th annual “Laché After Dark” show, an adults-only event for ages 18 and up, with doors opening at 6:30 PM and the show starting at 7 PM. The studio also offered a “Circus Hijinks Summer Camp 2026” featuring lyra, aerial fabric, trapeze, jumping and tumbling.

The space also hosts private events such as birthday parties, team-building activities and bachelorette parties. Whether you come alone for a class or book a private event, check the opening hours and the two-person minimum before you go so you know what to expect when you arrive.
