Adult Aerial

Class registration for the 2025-2026 circus school year is currently open. Classes begin 15th September.

We are currently offering a variety of Adult Aerial classes. They are:

• Adult Aerial Beginner
• Adult Aerial Intermediate
• Adult Aerial Hoop
• Adult Aerial Trapeze

In our Adult Aerial Beginner and Intermediate classes, participants will learn on different props, like hoop, silks, cocoon and trapeze.

The Aerial Hoop and Aerial Trapeze classes focus on those specific props only.

In these classes, participants will challenge themselves both physically and mentally on the aerial apparatus and experience a great full body workout that builds strength and flexibility. Learning elements of contemporary circus and dance, participants will discover how to develop and create movements at different levels and will experiment with a variety of movements above, on and under each prop.

Participants will use different aerial props throughout the year such as the aerial hoop, silks, cocoon and trapeze, focusing on a different prop every 6 weeks or so to allow participants to get familiar with different props and also develop the essential physical skills that each prop demands. This class will also feature body awareness and conditioning activities that will assist in the creation of aerial routines.

These classes are separated by skill level:

Beginner: Just starting out. This is really about your first year or so of training. Emphasis is on developing strength and solid basics. Unless you’ve already been doing a lot of training in another sport, expect this to take about a year - we all need to work on our strength and flexibility.

Intermediate: You’ve been training for about a year. You feel much stronger and flexible. You are now comfortable on the apparatus and are ready to start more dynamic moves and sequencing skills.

Beginning in autumn 2025, we're offering an Aerial Trapeze class. Whereas our other aerial classes offer working with multiple aerial props, this class will work only with trapeze.

You’ll start with the fundamentals of static trapeze, learning how to mount, balance, pose, and move with control and grace. You will focus on making shapes on the equipment and moving through sequences, gradually building your skills as you get stronger and more confident. Along the way, you’ll also develop the strength, coordination, and body awareness that support safe and expressive aerial movement.

Beginning in autumn 2025, we're offering an Aerial Hoop class. Whereas our other aerial classes offer working with multiple apparatuses, this class will work only with hoop.

Whether you’re brand new to aerial hoop or ready to expand on your basics, this class will help you build strength, skills, and confidence in the air. You’ll work on mounts, shapes, and transitions, starting with the fundamentals and progressing toward more dynamic and strength-based moves as you grow. We’ll explore sequences and flow, both in and under the hoop, while developing grip strength, body awareness, and control. Gentle spinning will be introduced and developed, helping you find your balance, control, and joy in motion. All in a fun, safe, and supportive environment!

Beginning in autumn 2025, we're offering an Aerial Silks class. Whereas our other aerial classes offer working with multiple apparatuses, this class will work only with silks.

Discover the strength, grace and artistry of aerial silks in this fun and empowering class. You’ll learn how to climb, wrap and move confidently on the silks while building strength, flexibility and body awareness. Our experienced tutors will guide you through the fundamentals of aerial technique as well as creative sequences and expressive movement. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to develop your aerial skills further, this class offers a supportive and energising space to challenge yourself, build confidence and enjoy the thrill of flight.
