Intro to Aerials – Teens (13 – 18 years)

Aerial Circus, Beginners

This introductory aerial class is for young people who are new to circus.

Students will explore aerial silks, trapeze, aerial hoop, and hammock, with a focus on safe technique, confidence in the air, and body awareness.

In this fun and supportive class, you will learn climbs, basic mounts, shapes, transitions, and short sequences, while building strength, coordination and confidence.

With more specialised circus classes coming to MOVE in Term 2, this is an ideal way to find your favourites before diving deeper!
