How many poles, Aerial Apparatus are there and how big are your classes?

We have vast variety of equipment within our Academy's, however you will never find more than 2 people to a piece of equipment.

I’ve never danced before! Will I be able to do Aerial Fitness classes?

Of course! You don’t need any dancing or fitness experience at all. At your first class we will help you determine your level of experience and fitness, and work at whatever pace you are comfortable with.

 

What should I wear?

Ideally for pole you will need to wear shorts and a t-shirt or vest. It’s not necessary to wear shorts for your first lesson but you’ll need bare skin as you progress to be able to stick to the pole. We recommend that even if you are not sure about wearing shorts you should put some in your bag and bring them to class anyway – we find people quickly get over their fear of shorts when they get annoyed by not being able to do certain tricks! For Aerial classes please ensure you have the tops of your arms and backs of your knees are covered, so ideally fitted leggings or cotton trousers, and pair of leg warmers.– this is a lot more comfortable for you! 

 

Do I have to book in advance?

All courses are booked in advance, no cash is handled on site.

 

How do I book a class?

Do I need to come with a partner or can I come on my own?

It’s entirely up to you! You are welcome to come along in groups or on your own. A partner is certainly not essential. All of our students and instructors are very friendly and will ensure that you are teamed with other students of similar ability during classes. If you would like to come along as a large group you must ensure that you all book in advance so that we can make sure there are enough spaces in class. Alternatively you can contact us by text, phone or e-mail to enquire about booking a private class or party for a large group.

 

 

I’m really unfit! Will I be able to Aerial Fitness?

Classes are popular, and often have waiting lists, so cancelling your class with as much notice as possible, will allow another student to take your place.

NOOOO!! We have a strict policy to avoiding any moisturisers, lotions or oils for 24 hours before your class. It will make it very difficult to grip for you and anyone sharing your pole.

IMPORTANT

Although at JD Aerial Fitness Academy we pride ourselves on making classes fun, pole fitness and aerial fitness are potentially extremely dangerous sports.

 

You must ensure that you listen to your Instructor. If any student is seen to be ignoring instructions, they will be asked to leave.

 

We are fully trained to teach in the safest, most effective way possible, so you must only ever take instructions from your Instructor.

​

Teaching other students moves or attempting moves that you have not yet been taught is strictly prohibited and will result in dismissal from the class without a refund.
