Frequently Asked Questions

Questions & Answers

What is different about Dancing in the Air? 

We focus on choreography, emotion and improvisation which we blend with the necessary skills, techniques and knowledge. The result is the creation of an experience rather than simply an exercise.

Does it involve risk? 

Careless students can sometimes put themselves and others at risk, which is why we ask students to sign a release, similar to those used by wall climbing establishments.

Can I fly if I am afraid of height? 

Yes! Even if you are afraid of heights you can learn aerial arts. Apparatus can be lowered to two meters and you can perform without letting go of the equipment.

What will I achieve? 

You will be shown in an afternoon secrets you might not learn in years anywhere else; how to create stories in the air!

How do you evaluate students? 

Most students come with some basic aerial skills. We create for each student a blended learning program through the year covering, creative skills, technical skills and fitness programs.

Is learning trapeze enjoyable and fitness orientated? 

Fun for people who looking for a thrill, an adrenalin rush or a once in a lifetime experience. Fitness for those seeking a fresh pathway to fitness and well being, that enables physical development beyond that which is possible with conventional sports.

How do you view the relationship between the artist and the equipment? 

We believe that because the equipment is in the air and space it becomes a link between heaven and earth. So for the act to work the artist first has to acknowledge this link.

How do you view the relationship between artists? 

We believe aerialists share a special connection, because not everyone feels comfortable in the air. In duo and group acts the artists only have their equipment and each other.

How do you view the relationship between the artist and the audience? 

I want the audience to see I am human like them and to connect with them at every point of the story.
