Static Trapeze Level 1

Static Trapeze (also known as fixed trapeze) is an aerial circus skill performed on a stationary trapeze – a horizontal bar suspended from two ropes. In contrast to the other forms of trapeze, on static trapeze the bars and ropes stay in place whilst you create shapes on and around the trapeze.

Static Trapeze is a good starting point for those interested in learning aerial skills as you’ll start to acquire agility, good balance, strength and fitness that can be transferred to other aerial skills.

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.

Course Information

Please note, no classes will run from 16 – 22 February due to the half term.
