10 Week Beginners Aerial
New to aerial skills? Looking for a fun way to get fit in the new year? Our 10-week aerial course will teach you the basics of static trapeze, rope, silks, aerial hoop and flying trapeze. On completion you can choose which skill(s) you want to specialise in and sign up for any of our level 2 classes. Tuesdays 8-10pm £90/£70 for 10 weeks
Static Trapeze
In this discipline the trapeze remains still and you will learn to move your body around it in the air. You will learn a wide range of movements including balances, drops, hangs, strength and flexibility manoeuvres on the trapeze bar and in the ropes supporting the trapeze. Trapeze can involve one or two performers. Once you've built your confidence on this five week course, you're welcome to develop your skills further on our level 2 aerial courses. Either build on your skills on one of our level 2 Static Trapeze classes, or broaden your skills by joining another level 2 class such as Aerial Hoop or Ropes & Silks.
