Stockton - Monday 7pm Adult Beginners & Beginners+ Aerial Hoop

Aerial hoop (also known as lyra) is a great entry point to the more circus side of aerial arts, perfect for building confidence, upper body strength and focussing on form in each pose. This class is suitable for complete beginners to aerial, and does not have any pre-requisites to join.
The rigid hoop is easier to control than aerial silks or trapeze and can be rigged to be more a more stable base for students worried about dizziness in aerial. Aerial hoop is a perfect tool for students looking to develop their practice into performances and can be used for ‘dancing in the air’ by choreographing poses into stunning flows.
This class is a beginners/beginners+ level. This means it is suitable for complete beginners to hoop, as well as students who have completed a few terms already, but are not yet confident in top bar moves or air inverts. A variety of skills and options will be given for all beginners or beginners+ to suit their current stage.
Teens 11+ are welcome with a participating adult over the age of 18, and 16+ may attend unaccompanied, however this is an adult class and under 16s may not attend unaccompanied. Our aerial arts classes have a 21 stone/133kg weight limit. We share equipment between a maximum of 2 students in all our aerial circus disciplines for maximum air time.
Aerial is a moderately demanding physical class, please get in touch if you have a health condition that could limit your participation. If you are reasonably fit and healthy (able to climb stairs, lift a heavy box, walk unaided then this class should suit most people). This class is not suitable to begin if you have active current vertigo, herniated or bulging spinal disks, glaucoma, arthritis which significantly limits your grip, are currently pregnant with no previous aerial experience or are within 6 weeks of giving birth. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive studio and welcome students beyond these safety limitations regardless of body type, fitness levels, physical limitations or disabilities or other restrictions. A free carers place is available for anyone who requires assistance to access our classes and is in receipt of middle or higher rate DLA or PIP. Please get in touch to discuss how we can ensure our classes are inclusive of your needs.
