I love aerial because of so many reasons!  I love the feeling of flying and freedom.  I love the challenges it brings you mentally and physically, altering perspective and how you look at the world.  Its brilliant to see people do something they never thought they would be able to do.  And I love the other worlds it creates and takes you somewhere else.

Sharisse Tindell

I love aerial because being in the air makes me feel strong and happy.  I am passionate about helping people of all ages and abilities challenge themselves to try new things, work hard, and feel good.

Saya Yamaguchi

I love aerial because how could I not? Aerial lets me fly, move and balance in the air. It makes me feel strong, creative and focused, and I love sharing that feeling through teaching and performing

Imogen Michel

I love aerial because it holds the potential to take theatre, dance and the performing arts into another dimension and combines a variety of technical challenges with the opportunity to be creative.

Marie Williamson

I love aerial because why just dance on the ground when you can also dance in the air!?

Lesley Niezynski

I love aerial because it brings lots of very unique and interesting challenges (and that’s just the finances)!

Chrissie Ardill

I love aerial because there is always something new and exciting to try, and there’s nothing like being high up.

Beverly Grant

I love aerial because it means I can fly like a super hero and run up walls like Spiderlady.

Zinnia Oberski

I love aerial because I love to climb and be in high places. There’s a wonderful strength in knowing that the only thing that stops me from falling is my understanding of my surroundings and the power of my body. I also like to be watched, which is why I perform a lot, usually on trapeze – I enjoy the vulnerability of being on stage. Trapeze is my favourite because I find it’s the best of both worlds – metal and rope, hard and soft, rigid and pliant.

Lucy Power

I love aerial because it was my childhood dream to be a trapeze artist, and dreams can come true (if you’re willing to have sore muscles and don’t mind the bruises!)

Ritti Soncco

I love aerial because it makes me feel like a superhero!

Kate George

I love aerial because when I was little I used to practice trapeze in my garden (an old rope passed through a metal pole), it was my dream to be in the circus. I discovered aerial again as an adult and it has been an empowering journey, a space to explore my strengths, to play and to dance in the air!

Tony Mills

Lynne Sneddon

I love aerial because I can create stories in the air; indulge my inner daredevil; and enjoy the support and company of other wonderful aerial enthusiasts

Anne Gallacher

I love aerial because it’s exhilarating to watch the professionals, and just as exhilarating to see people from all walks of life learning to do something they never imagined they would do.

Susan Hay

I like aerial dance because I love to fly.

Lindsay Boyd

I love aerial dance as it defies what seems possible.

Claire Farmer

I love aerial dance as it allows you to explore what your body (and mind) is
capable of, and there is nothing better than looking at the world upside
down!

Marion Bourbouze

I love aerial for its gorgeous blend of grace and skills. It also used to give me a sense of weightlessness which was exhilarating.
