The levels
How do you know where to start?
We have beginner classes for each apparatus, Poledance, Aerial Hoop, Aerial Silks/Hammock. And in each we have a list of tricks. To improve to the next level you would need to be able to succeed the right amount of tricks of the list.
Why do we do it this way you ask?
Well, some people are more strong and others are more flexible, that should not stop them from being able to go to the next level! We can build on both in any level. Ofcourse you are always allowed to join a class below the level you have passed if you feel like you are missing a specific skill and we can work on them. Below you will see the list for each apparatus:
