Mondays

Youth Aerial.

Improvers

Age 11-15, 16:15 - 17:45

Sessions are £15 each but must be booked in a term or half-term block in advance.

A mixed aerial class focusing on different apparatus each week covering trapeze, rope/silks and sling/hammock across the term. The students will learn circus-specific warmups, exercises and short sequences in the air. In a safe and relaxed environment, we will also look at movement and performance quality.

It is normally invitation-only from existing SBB youth aerial students. However, we also welcome enquiries from other young aerialists with some experiences in both vertical and bar apparatus.

Youth Aerial.

Experienced

Age 11-15, 18:00 - 19:30

Sessions are £15 each but must be booked in a term or half-term block in advance.

Our flagship young peoples’ class. With a focus on multiple aerial disciplines – including trapeze, rope/silks and sling/hammock – we also encourage our students to work creatively in the air; finding their own style within circus, whilst progressing in skill level.

We ask students to work in a buddy pair for the term, sharing a piece of apparatus with just one other person.

It is normally invitation-only from existing SBB youth aerial students. However, we also welcome enquiries from other experienced young aerialists with a solid foundation in both vertical and bar apparatus.

Adult Aerial.

Improvers

Age 16+, 19:30 - 21:00

Sessions are £15 each but must be booked in a term or half-term block in advance.

This class pushes our adult students past the “moves” and into a space where individuality is celebrated. Our students work on technique, line and advancing their skill set, over a broad range of apparatus.

We will consider people who have aerial circus experience across vertical (rope/silks) and bar (trapeze/hoop) apparatus. Please email the SBB team admin@smallworld.org.uk to enquire.
