Rope Level 1
About
Rope is an aerial circus skill that blends strength and creativity, involving climbing and creating shapes on a hanging rope. Suspended above the ground, you’ll learn to climb, twist, and holding poses.
One of the more challenging skills, Rope is closely connected to Silks and uses similar techniques. You’ll focus on dynamic and creative ways to climb the rope, involving various positions and drop – all while exercising your core and upper body strength, and building confidence in the air. It’s a thrilling way to push your limits and express yourself through movement.
Who it’s for
This course is the place to start if you have no or limited experience of circus, but want to learn from the basics, as well as developing your fitness and helping you gain confidence on specialist circus equipment. Once our teachers feel that a student is ready, you will be able to progress to Level 2.
If you have experience and would like to start training at the National Centre on a more advanced level course, you can book an Aerial Assessment.
What to wear?
Please wear comfortable clothing such as leggings or tracksuit bottoms, a T-shirt or vest, and clean indoor trainers. For aerial classes, clothing that covers the limbs (like long sleeves and leggings) is advised.
