Getting started
|
The best place for kids to started is in our Level 1 Hoop or Level 1 Hammock classes.
Kids can enrol in either one or both of these. We will let you know when your child is ready to move up levels - usually kids stay in the same class for the whole year. Our Level 1 classes are designed for kids who have never tried aerials before. If this the student's first time in an aerial hoop or aerial hammock class then this best place for them to start! Students don't need to have experience in dance or gymnastics to begin. |

their first year
During your child's first year in Level 1, they will learn skills in their chosen apparatus. In their first few sessions, they will make some friends, learn the basics of how to hold the hoop/hammock, sit inside, and balance on it. As they progress and become more comfortable with the apparatuses, they will start to learn new poses in and around the hoop/hammock and how to link these together in a variety of ways.
These classes will teach them the building blocks for a safe and successful aerial journey.
Kids in Level 1 will have the opportunity to join our student concert in Term 3, though this is optional.

Next steps
After your child has mastered the foundations of aerial arts in our Level 1 classes, they will progressively work through Level 1 - 6 aerial hoop and aerial hammock specific classes. You will be notified when your child is ready to move from one level to another - usually this is annually.
In these classes we build on what we have already learnt and introduce more challenging moves as well as learning to link together higher level combos. Students will also start to work through more challenging conditioning exercises to prepare them for more advanced aerial art tricks and sequences.
