5-week Mixed Aerial Foundation Course

Service Description

Our foundation Aerial courses really are for complete beginners - you don’t need to have any experience to take part. All of our Foundation courses run over five weeks and each class lasts for 55 minutes. Each week you will be able to learn basics on different apparatus ( including Aerial Hoop, Aerial Silks, Aerial Rope, Aerial Straps, Aerial Hammocks). New Courses start every 6 weeks. Once you have learned basic tricks and how to use each apparatus, you will be introduced to more difficult moves in one of our beginners & improvers classes. Aerial classes typically start with warm-ups. Expect to do some running, lunges, twisting, and stretching. You'll also perform strengthening exercises like side crunches, pull-ups, and leg raises. You shouldn't be ashamed if you can't do any of the exercises at first. WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? We recommend that you wear shorts (better for grip on the hoop or jogging bottoms, leggings are fine. T-shirt or vest tops are suitable – anything comfortable. Bare feet are fine to get you started. We ask that you do not wear socks during class as they can cause slips . For Aerial Silks classes we recommend Long sleeved top and leggings. Hair must be tied back. Please do not wear any hand cream, body moisturisers, self tan or creams on the day of the class as this makes the equipment slippery and dangerous. All hanging jewellery including rings and necklaces should be removed before class. Exposed belly button bars should be removed! ​ WHAT TO EXPECT? Each Aerial class will start with a warm up, designed for that specific class and will end in a cool down. In a full class, the equipment will be shared by two people (maximum). You will be asked to leave all unnecessary belongings in the lockers provided and only bring equipment needed the class room. Bring your own padlock. Water is a must! We have facilities to fill your own bottles, or you can purchase on reception. ​ ARE THERE ANY AGE RESTRICTIONS? To take part in our adult Aerial Hoop you must be aged 16 or over.
