The levels

How do you know where to start?

​

We have beginner classes for each apparatus, Poledance, Aerial Hoop, Silks and Sling. In each type of sport, we have a list of tricks. To proceed to the next level, you need feel confident in some foundational tricks off of the list.

​

Why do we do it this way you ask?

​

Well, some people are more strong and others are more flexible, which should not stop them from being able to go to the next level! We can build on both in any level. Of course you are always allowed to join a class below the level you have passed, or if you feel like you are missing a specific skill and want to work on it.

Below you will see the list for each apparatus:
