About the Event

Three Terms 

Term 1 - 26 Feb - 02 Apr 2025 - 6 week Course

Term 2 - 23 Apr - 21 May 2025 - 5 week Course

Term 3 - 04 Jun - 23 Jul 2025 - 8 week Course

5.15-6.15pm; Introduction to aerial (7-19 years) - for young people who have no experience in aerial or just prefer a slower paced class. This class is aimed at nailing the basics and taking things slow

6.15-7.15pm; Aerial level one for young people aged (7-10 years) - with some aerial or gymnastics experience. This can be a little faster paced, still nailing the basics and learning sequences

7.15-8.30pm; Aerial level two for young people aged (11-19 years) - with some aerial or gymnastics experience. This can be a little faster paced and sequences which include more dynamic tricks like drops.

Tutors will always deliver a comprehensive warm up which includes a physical exercise,conditioning and stretches to prepare to get on the equipment. Tutors will then demonstrate moves and sequences for participants to copy and learn. Each piece of apparatus will have a crashmat underneath and tutors will be available to spot(aid with the move) or answer any questions. The class will finish with a cool down to prevent any injuries.

*If you have questions about group levels please speak to class tutors to discuss this. 

What to wear:

You are advised to wear close fitting dance style clothing – leggings, leotards etc. T-shirts and tight tracksuit bottoms are also suitable but your top/t-shirt must be long enough to stay tucked in at all times. Please avoid clothing with zips or button fastenings which can get caught in the equipment. It is really important that the backs of the knees are covered. The classes are all done in bare feet.

All jewellery must be removed and any body piercings (especially those around the midriff) must be removed or taped. Long hair must be tied back safely.

Please bring water or a reusable water bottle to fill to keep hydrated. 

Are there risks:

All physical activity carries an amount of risk so all Circus Hub classes at Chapel Street including Aerial are assessed, then guidelines and procedures are put in place to minimise that risk. Our experienced Aerial tutors will ensure all participants have all movements explained and demonstrated before they try anything themselves and wherever possible tried at ground level before using the equipment.

Participants are only to perform moves that have been demonstrated and agreed with the tutor and are advised to hold on to the equipment at all times unless advised to do otherwise by the tutor in charge of the activity.

There will be crash mats under all equipment and gym mats around the area where the activity is taking place.

Do I have to be healthy to take part?:

To safely take part in a Static Aerial or Fixed-Point Ropes and Silks course, you must be in good health, without injury and have a good level of upper body strength. You must not take part in these classes if you are pregnant.

When doing these classes, you must take good care of your hands and feet and take proper care of any calluses and blisters that may develop over the course. Please speak to your tutor at the beginning or during the activity if you develop either of these.
