I’m a complete beginner, can I join in?
Head to our beginners page for details about the best way to get started with us!
I’ve tried aerial arts before, can I join an aerial class?
Yes! Be aware that the way we teach may be different to the way you’ve been taught before. Please make sure you’re following our studio-specific procedures so that everyone (including your instructor) can have as much fun as possible in class!
Maintaining social distancing during studio classes
We have rearranged our aerial rigging points in the studio so that classes can be conducted with 3m of space between each aerial rigging point.
Our main studio flooring is in 1m x 1m tiles, so it is easy to judge whether you are maintaining the recommended distance from others while you’re in the studio.
How aerial classes will work
Our classes have always been taught using apparatus hanging from three aerial rigging points (so, for example, during an aerial silks class there are three sets of silks hanging in the studio – see photo above).
Previously, a student might have used all three pieces of rigged apparatus by the end of the class as they moved around the room taking their turn on the next available piece of apparatus.
Now, we restrict the movement of students around the class a little more to minimise sharing of equipment.
How do I book a space in an aerial class?
Adults – head to our weekly classes page
Kids & Teens – head to our termly courses page
Pricing for aerial classes for adults
Classes will be 45 minutes. Please try to arrive as warmed-up as possible, so that we can limit the amount of aerobic activity in the studio. Your instructor will run you through some low-intensity warm-up moves and stretches at the start of the class, before moving you onto the aerial apparatus.
The cost for each class is currently £10 per person. You can also block book classes by the month – for more information on that you can head to our weekly classes page.
We’re no longer accepting requests for own equipment in classes so if you prefer your own equipment then you’ll need to book a private tuition session.
Why our classes will be shorter now
Reducing the amount of time that you’re in class with other people helps us to limit the potential for airborne transmission of the virus that causes covid-19, should anyone in class happen to be unknowingly carrying it. This is based on what is understood about viral load.
Why we’re limiting sharing of equipment
Although surface transmission is not thought to be the main way that the virus that causes covid-19 is transmitted, we can try to limit the chances of transmission by limiting the number of people touching the same surfaces.
That being said, it simply isn’t possible for us to entirely eliminate the possibility of surface transmission, so the most important way that you can help us with this is by washing (or sanitising if washing isn’t possible) your hands thoroughly and often, and not touching your face.
Why breaks between classes will be longer
To allow extra time for increased cleaning measures
To allow time for re-rigging apparatus for the next class
To prevent cross-over or bottleneck of students leaving one class and arriving for the next
Can I book a private lesson?
Yes, you can! Please note that everyone joining in your booked session will be sharing equipment. It is the booker’s responsibility to ensure that all participants understand this.
You can find details about pricing and how to book on our Private Tuition page.
Can I book a party?
Yes you can! Head to our party packages page to see what options are available to book.
We also have small group private tuition sessions available for up to three people, and solo private tuition sessions which would make a great birthday present. Visit the private tuition page of our website for more details, or take a look at the gift vouchers page for more details on how to give a session as a gift.
Can I book a family fun session?
Yes, you can! Please bear with us as scheduling will depend on our equipment quarantine rotation, but we’re so excited to have you back!

What happens if my session is cancelled due to Covid-related restrictions?
There’s a good explanation of our approach to Covid-related cancellations on our FAQs page. If you still have any queries after reading that then please feel free to ask.
