Our first workshop sold out quickly so we have decided to add a second date! 😁 Allie Ho Chee will be back on 22nd March 10am-12pm for a second aerial hoop workshop! This 2hr adults workshop will focus on stunning flexibility and split based moves. It will then finish with the final 20mins spent working on some stretching techniques. The class will be on a first come first served basis and based on the first workshop, the spaces will not hang around for long! Message us or email to book your space 📨 info@essexcircusacademy.co.uk The workshop price is £35 and prompt payment is required to secure your slot. You need to be working at a high intermediate level as a minimum to attend this workshop. If you aren't sure if it is suitable for you, let us know and we can talk it through. 🌟🌟🌟 Allie is a trained dancer and professional aerialist whose love of flying began on BBC One’s The Magicians in 2011. She went on to soar as a flying Mary Poppins in the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony and has performed around the world, from Mumbai and Goa to Sri Lanka and Monaco for a royal wedding. Alongside her international work, Allie co-hosted the London cabaret Bizu, performing multiple aerial hoop acts, as well as appearing at high-end club events and numerous corporate engagements. Since 2019, Allie has been Aerial Captain on Mamma Mia! The Party. She loves inspiring performers to build confidence, creativity and strength — and can’t wait to bring the magic of air dance to Essex Circus Academy.
A round up of our second week at Essex Circus Academy! 🎪 We've enjoyed some taster sessions, group fitness sessions, flow classes, beginners and intermediate + classes, parent and child learn together sessions and even a few private classes! If you're interested in joining us for next week, drop us a message or email us to book in! 💌 info@essexcircusacademy.co.uk
Are you interested in starting aerial but not sure where to start? Sling is a fantastic piece of equipment! It has a lot of similarities to silks but is more accessible as it provides you with more support and rest poses. It's also more comfortable than hoop or trapeze! Laura S tried sling this week (not pictured), here's what she thought; Chrissy was so supportive and welcoming! It was a really fun and inclusive space and she was able to tailor it to different abilities. I really enjoyed it ❤️ Our sling class runs Monday 7.30pm and is followed by our flow class at 8.30pm, both with Molli. Flow class is designed to teach a different routine every month. January started on sling and February will be a hoop flow. This class focuses on the performance and dance aspect more than invididual tricks. Message us or email info@essexcircusacademy.co.uk if you have any questions or want to book! 📨
Charlie smashed her back balances in our intermediate + class last night with Molli. 👏🏻 If you're an intermediate aerialist looking to take your training to the next level, get booked on!
