Pole
Pole dancing is an art form combined of dance and acrobatics performed on a vertical bar.
Beginner students learn all of the basics with some basic spins, poses, climbs and choreography and as students progress they will learn inverted moves. Pole is a great workout as you start building strength and endurance from the very first lesson.
Aerial Hoop
Aerial hoop (also known as lyra) is an aerial art performed in a large metal ring suspended from the ceiling. It is traditionally a circus discipline, where balances and acrobatic tricks are performed underneath, inside and above the hoop.
In this class you will start by learning basic moves to help build your strength and improve your flexibility and coordination. The small classes allow for plenty of time on the hoop and promote a supportive and friendly atmosphere where you can have fun and celebrate each others’ successes.
Static Trapeze
Static trapeze (also known as fixed trapeze) is an aerial art performed on a bar suspended from two ropes. Tricks are performed underneath the bar, on the bar and on the ropes.
At Phases we have two lengths of trapeze so that we can either focus on bar work or on rope work. It is a visually stunning discipline that trains strength, flexibility, coordination and elegance.
The classes are small and friendly so students get lots of time on the trapeze and everyone supports each other.
Aerial Silks
Aerial silks is the most challenging aerial art offered at Phases.
Aerial silks is a circus discipline performed on two lengths of fabric suspended from the ceiling. It combines strength and flexibility to perform some truly amazing static poses, wraps and drops.
Aerial Hammock
Aerial hammock is a unique aerial discipline which combines elements of yoga, aerial circus skills and fitness, and takes place in a large loop of material known as a hammock.
This class can help you improve your overall strength, flexibility, balance and well being. An aerial hammock class typically consists of a mobility section, inversions, a cardio and strength section, a flexibility section and a cocooned relaxation section to finish.
Junior Aerial
Junior aerial classes are for children aged between 8 and 16.
During term time, we run aerial silks and aerial hoop courses and during the school holidays we run workshops with a mixture of silks, hoop and static trapeze.
They will learn all of the basic techniques and then build on these to create combinations and routines whilst building strength, grace and confidence.
