what is AERIAL DANCE?


This form of dance combines creative expression with athleticism- all while moving in the air. Hence, immersing yourself in aerial dance helps build your strength and flexibility whilst allowing you to fall in love with the grace and beauty of your movements. As the dance is done 'in the air', aerialists are able to not only occupy the horizontal space around them, but also the vertical space.


different styles to explore



My personal favorite forms of aerial dance are aerial hoop and rope that demonstrate a unique and 'obscure' way of expressing yourself through dance. Especially when you put on some good music.


a short history



Aerial dance was first recognized in the 1970s in the United State as a subgenre to modern dance. It involves the movement of performers whilst being suspended in the air. Typically, this is done by incorporating an apparatus or mechanism that is attached to a ceiling, rig, etc. Currently there is a debate concerning whether of not aerial dance should be categorized within the category of circus arts, or whether it should be given its own artistic identity.



one of the best ways to know if aerial dance is for you, is to try out a trial class.
