Aerial Classes

​

• What should I wear?

For aerial you will need to be well covered. One, or two, pairs of leggings are ideal, you will need a long top that can be tucked in or a leotard, a long sleeved jumper you can remove and thick socks are recommended (no socks for silks!).

• What level class should I be in?

All of our beginner level classes are suitable for completely new students, at all times. You do not need to book a special course. Other classes vary depending on the instructor and discipline, so please pop us a message if you have some prior experience and we will find the perfect class for you!

• I'm not strong, what if I can't get in the hoop?

The hardest part about aerial hoop for most people is getting in to it, due to this we always rig one of our hoops at a low height so that all students can simply sit in it to do the moves. It can take a few weeks to build the strength and ability necessary to get in to one of the higher hoops. This is completely normal and your instructor will provide you with all the tools needed to achieve this! Regardless of your size or level of strength - you will be able to do a lot more than you realise. Give it a try!

Pole Classes

• What should I wear?

We recommend wearing something comfortable for your first class. Shorts are ideal, but not necessary. You should be able to move easily. I recommend you bring socks as they help you to slide on the floor. No jewellery should be worn. Please DO NOT moisturise on pole days - you will make the poles slippery for yourself and others.

• What are the class levels?

NEW Students Beginners: Suitable for BRAND NEW students to pole. No experience is needed to attend these classes.

Improvers Pole: Students who have done a little pole and have been attending for a month or so. Not suitable for BRAND new students. Please ensure if you book for a class that you have picked the new students group.

Intermediate Pole: Must be able to invert by themselves consistently - no other prerequisites.

Advanced Pole: Must be able to do a wide range of intermediate level inverts. There are no specific guidelines, you will be invited to join this class when ready to do so.

• I'm quite overweight, will the poles hold me?

We use professional grade poles at both studios. Although there are no official guideline provided by the company, they are designed to take upwards of 20 stone as you can have two or more people on a pole for doubles and group moves. The poles are regularly safety checked and used by students of ALL shapes and sizes. We've worked really hard to create an inclusive environment and a syllabus to suit everyone. We welcome you to join us :)
