We know life gets busy, schedules change, and consistency can look different week to week. We hope this gives you a little more breathing room to train, move, fly, and enjoy your classes at your own pace. See you in the air ✨

FEVER - Scratch Night for Phizz Fest Born from the spirit of disco — not just the glitter, but the underground dancefloors where communities carved out space for freedom, identity, and self-expression — Glamour & Grit celebrates performance that is both dazzling and raw. We’re inviting aerial artists and performers to share bold, high-energy work that lives in contrast: sequins and sweat, polish and imperfection, spectacle and substance. Whether it’s club-inspired, character-driven, physical, political, or deeply personal, we want to see work that moves, challenges, and shines in its own way. This is a chance to test new ideas, share works-in-progress, and be part of a vibrant, supportive night of performance. 📅 Event: 10th May, 5:30pm
🔧 Tech: 8th May, 6:30pm

WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT @ademarchisie is hosting a 2 hour workshop on the art of dance trapeze. In this dance trapeze workshop, we’ll begin with a slow exploration of the trapeze - learning how to manipulate the apparatus, tune into your body, and play with control and release/ balance and waves. From there, we’ll build confident front and back balances, explore smooth transitions, thread through and introductory to spins. We’ll close by putting it all together into a sequence. All levels are welcome to join. Please bring layers that cover limbs and belly. Feel Free to DM with any questions When: 12th April 2-4pm Price: €40
