We held our very first beginners workshop on Sunday 8th March 2026!

Our newbie aerialists started off with a gentle warm up and stretch then tested their strength on the silks! The most difficult of the three pieces of apparatus that we had on offer, our ladies made fantastic progress learning the basics of climbing and some footlock skills and trying their first invert in the hitch!

They then moved on to trying their hand at aerial hoop, learning a couple of mounts, some seated moves and progressing to trying mermaids and gazelles.

With aching hands and arms, our dedicated beginners finished with their final piece of equipment for the day – aerial sling. The most gentle of the three, which had been saved for last. Sling was a firm favourite of the group and we went back to inverts using this more supportive equipment, then tried some standing shapes.

After an energetic 2 hours, our lovely ladies finished with a stretch and headed home for a well deserved sit down and a nice warm bath!
