Open Practice - Aerial

Practice makes Purrrrrfect. Open aerial time to practice what you have learnt in classes. Practice makes Purrrrrfect! Aerial Hoop, silks, yoga hammock or any other requests? You will do your own warm up and cool down and can practice any moves you have been taught to do safely already by an instructor. An instructor will be there if you need advice or spotting. You are not allowed to teach other students in this session. Please message us in advance to let us know what equipment you would like to practice on (especially if it's different to in lessons) so we can have it up ready for you. As standard we have two long aerial silks and two hoops up if space permits we can also put up other items such as trapeze hammock straps but you will need to request this in advance so we can plan the space. We do not promise that we can always facilitate different height hoops and all the equipment requested but we will do our best, especially in busy sessions . Either email info@pinkkittendanceschool.com or message the office via WhatsApp/WhatsApp group. You may have to share equipment in busier sessions and be asked to take turns to ensure everyone gets time in the air. Please be aware of others around you and if you are going to do dynamic or swinging moves check in with the instructor and other students. Students must listen to instructor at all times and if we feel your practice is dangerous or you are not being considerate to others in the space then we may ask you to come down off the equipment. For aerial wear clothing to cover the skin such as leggings/close fit jogging bottoms to avoid possible friction burns. You may want to bring a top with long sleeves for some of the moves. Please remove all jewelry, watches/fitbits for your safety. Long hair tied back. For aerial yoga and silks please don't wear clothing with zips as it can damage the fabric of the equipment. Thanks 🙂 We cannot guarantee you will have your own equipment - you may need to share if the session is busy but we have a set number of spaces to give everyone as much time as possible. We will try and meet your requests for specialised equipment but this will be dependent on trained staff and space in the session so get in touch with us via email with any special request. I HAVE READ AND AGREE WITH THE FOLLOWING - These are practice sessions and students should only be practicing moves they have already been taught by an instructor. These sessions are NOT a lesson. There is No teaching in these open pole/aerial sessions please make sure you have attended normal classes before attending practice sessions Teachers are NOT on hand to teach new moves in these sessions, they are there to supervise. You must complete a full body 10 minute warm up before getting on any equipment this should include joint mobilisation, pulse raiser and active flexibility. Ask the supervising instructor for suggestions if unsure. Careful progression through the moves in our pole/aerial syllabus is the best way to progress safely- not pushing yourself too far or too fast. Students must not teach other students. Only qualified and insured teachers should be instructing Students learning and practicing new moves with an incorrect technique can result in serious injury to muscles and joints. Pole dancing and Aerial hoop are dangerous activities and accidents could potentially be life-threatening. Please make sure mats are always used when on aerial equipment or practicing new moves. All our teachers are fully qualified insured and have undergone years of training in the safe progression of moves and spotting techniques.
