Adult Classes

Our classes are for anyone and everyone who wants to learn an aerial circus skill for fun, fitness and frivolity and also for people who want to work in the performance industry. Whether you are starting back to fitness from a long exercise absence or want to beef up your workouts, we have a class for you.

Aerial is for any age – our current oldest participant is an octo-plus (80+years).

We are happy to have those aged 12+ join most of our adult classes, or those 12-16 can take part in our teen programme.

But which is the right aerial class for you?

Static Trapeze

The original aerial discipline created by Jules Leotard in the 1800’s. A metal bar suspended on two ropes. A great starter skill that builds strength, stamina and an understanding of the aerial language (& great way to tone up bingo wings). You will learn hangs, drops, rolls, poses, balances, beats and develop your creativity to put them together to create sequences and routines. Classes for absolute beginners and advanced are available.

Aerial Silks

A single piece of fabric folded in half to create two strands. These are used to climb and wrap to create locks, rolls, balances and incredible shapes. An amount of fitness is required to get the best out of the class but absolute beginners as well as advanced practitioners are welcome.

Hoop (Lyra or Cerceux)

A circular spinning metal hoop suspended in the air. Classes are available for absolute beginners and for professional level aerialists. A graceful skill that combines poses, holds, braces, beats, spins and saltos to build beautiful routines.

Rope, corde lisse, strength, climb, aerial, aerialist

Rope (Corde Lisse)

Even if you have never climbed a rope before, these classes will teach you the technique of ascending the rope and the balances, braces, locks, wraps and rolls  to create a great rope routine. A general level of fitness is required, but climbing a rope should be one of the basic life skills we all need, like swimming or riding a bike.  Beginner classes and advanced classes are available.

Straps

Straps are a type of aerial apparatus on which various feats of strength and flexibility may be performed, often in the context of a circus performance. It is a cotton or nylon web apparatus that looks like two suspended ribbons. We offer a Straps Conditioning class, which focuses on strength moves and is for anyone who wants to focus on getting stronger for aerial! We also offer our regular Straps class, this class is only suitable with people with aerial experience.
