Adult & Youth Classes (14+)
Beginner + / Improver Bars: A fantastic class for those who are able to confidently and independently mount a hoop or trapeze. We'll be taking you to the next stage, using both hoop and trapeze, improving strength, stamina, control and your aerial movement vocabulary.
All Level Silks: Whether you're starting silks, or looking to finesse your fabric movements, this is the class for you! This will be a skill and technique based class, looking to teach you all the foundational skills for fabrics, for both the brand new beginner and for those looking to work out a new way to wrap, a different way to roll, or yet another way to climb the curtains! Led by our body geek and technique guru, Sophie, come along and get strong on the vertical!
Aerial Conditioning: If you want to speed up your strength, technique and stamina gains for Aerial or just in general this is the class for you. We'll work you hard in this fun but bootcamp style session and you will feel the benefits. You can expect to spend time on and off the equipment working on all over strength, fitness, and physical control.
Juggle Fit: Juggling is one of the most effective activities for all round fitness. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE ABLE TO JUGGLE TO JOIN, but you might learn after a few sessions! We will use the principles of juggling to help develop your cardiovascular fitness, all over body strength, balance, agility, coordination, proprioception, all whilst growing additional brain cells and synapses - YES juggling really does do all those things, and the best bit is, it really doesn't matter if you are any good at it. It is the act of trying that makes the difference. Just as an added bonus, it builds confidence and resilience and is darn good fun, we challenge you not to laugh, giggle, snigger or smile whilst attempting some of the somewhat unusual tasks we have in store for you!
Acro & Balance: This class is all about strength and control as you learn to support each other in various acro poses, and working towards the handstand. We'll be starting from the very beginning in this exciting new class! You do not need to bring a partner, you will be mixed up and grouped within class, but you will need to be comfortable working with other students and spotting each other as instructed.
Juggle Mondays: It you don't know about it yet - Juggling is perhaps one of the most effective routes to life long, physical, mental and social life. It develops agility, balance, and coordination, can be done by anyone any where, it even improves your brain power - honestly - ask about it and we'll joyfully give you all the geeky details :) Learn to Jugglers and Beginners will be taught from 7.35 to 8.10 and Improvers / Intermediate jugglers will be taught 8.15 - 8.55. But all are welcome to hang out in the space and practice for the duration.
Strings & Balls: This is both a taught and open practice session working with juggling and flow equipment such as juggling, hula hoop, diabolo and plate spinning. Age 12 + with parent / carer supervision, or age 16+ independently.
SEND Youth (and carer) Circus: This class is designed for young people with SEND to engage in circus play with their parent / carer.

The focus is on enjoyment, agility, balance and coordination along with developing confidence and resilience. Age 6+
Home Ed & School Leaver Arts Award Group: These sessions will work best for young people already attending our classes and gives them the opportunity to work towards qualifications. We will do a mixture of aerial, ground skills and portfolio work.
SEND & Friends Circus: A little bit of juggling and spinning plates but mostly the ever popular aerial hoop, trapeze or fabric. This after school session is suitable for children aged 5 - 10 including those with SEND that need a smaller class or slower pace.
Minis and Juniors Circus (age 4 - 11): This class is very much focused on fun, confidence and emotion regulation. So whether your little one has no sense of danger or is just too shy to come out of their shell this is the perfect experience for them. A different ground skill each week followed by time up in the air :)
