Aerial combines circus skills and modern dance, with dancers using silks, hoops and trapeze to climb, swing and suspend in the air.
The Aerial Skills Improvers Course focuses on pushing your existing skill base. We’ll help you learn moves and build sequences on various aerial apparatus including static trapeze, silks and hoops. We advise that you should have a good level of fitness to get the most from the class.
All or Nothing are a leading aerial dance company creating, performing, teaching and pioneering aerial arts in Scotland since 2006. Based in Edinburgh, they blend breathtaking aerial acrobatics with dance, theatre and contemporary circus.
Please wear loose comfortable clothes and please bring your own yoga mat with you if you have one. If not – don't worry! We have some you can borrow.
Meet the Teachers
All or Nothing
All or Nothing are Scotland’s leading aerial dance company creating, performing, teaching and pioneering aerial arts in Scotland. Led by Artistic Director Jen Paterson, our work ranges from small-scale theatre to large-scale outdoor spectacle - hanging from boats, buildings and cranes, flying through forests, across lochs or dancing on iconic landmarks. All or Nothing combine aerial arts with dance theatre and contemporary circus, creating our own theatrical works for touring as well as developing aerial elements for events.
Participation is vital to the company’s work. We believe that aerial is for everyone and we develop all kinds of opportunities for this to happen, challenging assumptions of who aerial is for.

How to prepare
Aerial Skills Improvers requires the ability to move on the aerial equipment, so make sure to wear comfortable clothing, though nothing too baggy as you will need to be able to move. And don’t forget your bottle of water!
