Aerial Circus Arts

I am excited to welcome you to Aerial Circus Arts Instruction.

I have been to the circus many times throughout my childhood and have watched open mouthed at the acrobatics and aerial skills. More recently through my travels I have had the opportunity of watching several Cirque de Soleil Shows and have been inspired and thrilled at their performances, never dreaming that I would be able to do anything that they do...

Little did I know that through learning pole dancing this would lead me to aerial circus arts! Through pole dancing I have gradually developed a strength and flexibility I never thought possible for my body! And in that respect when I visited Vegas in 2006 I thought I would just try the silks for fun, never expecting to find another skill that I would fall in love with.

Well that was over a year ago and am I glad I tried the silks, as from there I have discovered the static trapeze, the flying trapeze, the corde de lisse (rope) and the hoop. I won't lie, learning these great skills is hard, but I shall let you into a secret... Pilates!,

From using my knowledge and repertoire in the Pilates Studio aerial work becomes so much more achievable and enjoyable, allowing you to discover naturally the grace and fluidity needed for these skills. Having seen the dramatic results from twinning the aerial arts with Pilates I am now pleased to share my knowledge and skills with you as I start developing my own pedagogies* for teaching aerial circus arts.

I am now teaching the aerial circus arts of static trapeze, hoop and silks. Private sessions are now available and are priced at £45.00 per hour. Please contact us here for more details.

Special shout out to these mistresses of the air that have inspired me to another level, Naomi, Jennifer, Tania, Haylee, Jacqui and Kristi. Please check out my knowledge and training for full details.
