We offer kid classes from ages 6 years old – 16 years old. We have regular classes in aerial silks and aerial hoop. If your child loves hanging upside down or climbing then this is the place for them!

We welcome students who want to learn aerial for fun as a hobby or those who are wanting to continue it as a career.

We also offer exciting and engaging holiday clubs for children throughout the year, during October Half Term, Easter Holidays, and Summer Holidays.
