What is Aerial

[Page in progress]

What We Do

We offer a variety of apparatuses, including:

Aerial Hoop (Lyra)
Silks
Vertical Dance (Harness)
Trapeze
Hammock (Sling)

Outside our weekly training sessions you can expect different events during the year, such as peformances and showcases with other societies, social events to get to know one-another, fun themed photoshoots, and much more!

We are supported by a local aerial company, Yskynna (yer-skin-ah), who have performed at Glasonbury!

Our Values

Inclusivity: We welcome people of all ages, gender identities, and skill levels. (In fact, most of our members join as complete beginners! We'll teach you everything you need to know.)
Safety: We prioritise the safety and well-being of all our members. Every new trick or move will be explained as many times as needed, and a committee member will always spot you. All our equipment also goes through bi-annual LOLER checks, to ensure it is 100% safe
Community: We have a great community of like-minded people who will cheer each other, trade skills, and ensure everyone feels welcome.

Weekly Sessions

Every Saturday at the Penryn Campus Sports Centre from 10:00am to 12:00pm - £5 a session

What to Expect at a Weekly Session

Duration: 2 hours
Structure: After a 10-minute warm up, participants are divided into groups based on ability. There are 3 set-ups within the session, usually hoop, silks, and harness. The seperate groups get 45 minutes each on all three apparatuses to learn new moves and techniques.

Have a preference for a specific apparatus? Let our committee know, and you can focus solely on your preferred discipline!

Before a Session

Make sure to bring a water bottle
Leave your jewellery at home! It can snag and damage the silks.
Tops: Wear something that is not too loose, you will be upside down at times and shirts can ride up. Wear something that is form-fitting or can be tucked into pants.
Bottoms: Leggings or sweatpants work best, again avoid anything too flowy as it may get trapped.

Aerial is a great society to go for if you'd like to improve on your confidence, flexibility, and strength!
