Children learn the fundamentals of aerial hoop and sling, including basic shapes, simple sequences and fun conditioning. Every class includes a warm up, skill practice and a cooldown. If the child wishes to sign up for weekly classes following their trial, we place each student in a class matched to their age and ability to help them thrive.

Yes. Aerial is fully beginner friendly. You don’t need to be strong or flexible to start as aerial naturally develops strength, flexibility and body awareness through fun movement. Children progress gradually and safely at their own pace. We tailor each class to age and ability, teaching basic wraps, safe balances and fun poses before progressing to more challenging skills.

No. Our youth aerial silks, hoop and sling classes can cater to complete beginners, as well as those with a background in related sports. Children learn every skill step by step, building strength, confidence and coordination from their first session.

Professional aerial coaches, with extensive experience teaching young people, lead our classes. Our coaches create a supportive, energetic and fun environment. The classes are mostly skill based however children are also encouraged to explore, create, express themselves and celebrate their progress.

All of the coaches are DBS checked and fully insured.

Aerial challenges children both physically and mentally, helping them develop problem-solving skills, confidence and self-belief. They build strength, flexibility, coordination and spatial awareness in a fun and creative way through learning shapes in the air, balancing on the equipment, spinning, wrapping silks, climbing, sequencing and, when they are ready, learning drops and other dynamic moves.

Children learn basic poses in their first session and begin performing short sequences within a few weeks. Aerial is not easy, but there is a lot children can achieve in a relatively short space of time. As they progress to more challenging skills, such as drops and dynamic movements, they will need time to build the strength, control and confidence required to perform them safely.

Aerial teaches children patience, perseverance and determination. They can see how their hard work pays off as their strength and skills improve each week, opening up new and more exciting movements. Over time, mastering new skills gives children a real sense of achievement and helps them develop greater confidence in themselves and what they are capable of.

We offer a one-time class try out for £16 with no obligation to commit to a full block. This can be booked directly through our website here.

Following your trial, you can enrol in regular classes via half-term blocks or a monthly payment plan (£16 per class). Booking links are sent directly by email prior to the start of each term.

Classes accommodate 8-16 participants, depending on the class setup. We have eight aerial points with a maximum of two children per point, encouraging sharing, teamwork and learning through watching each other in the air.

We want to ensure that all children have a positive experience in our classes and therefore create a calm, encouraging environment. Coaches demonstrate clearly, offer hands-on support and celebrate small wins to help children build confidence without pressure. There are lots of simple, fun moves they can try and, while we encourage every student to reach their full potential, we never push children beyond their comfort zone. Children’s safety and enjoyment are always our top priorities.

Yes. We use professional rigging, appropriate mats, controlled progressions and close supervision throughout every session. Children learn at a safe and appropriate pace, building strength, coordination, confidence and technique before progressing to more challenging skills. We make sure they understand the requirements of each move and are physically and technically prepared before moving on, so they can develop their aerial skills safely, positively and with confidence.
