Classes:
Aerialize- Sydney Aerial Theatre provides expert tuition and training in aerial and circus disciplines, for adults and children. We are located in the Great Hall at the Addison Rd Centre, 142 Addison Rd, Marrickville. Our aerial and circus classes are a vibrant and healthy form of expression and exercise.
The classes cater to people of all levels from absolute beginners to advanced. Students attend our classes for leisure, recreational, educational and vocational purposes.
For beginners, the classes are a great way to get fit and challenge yourself with something new, and for the more advanced students classes are more creative and challenging. All Aerialize instructors are highly trained in their field of expertise and perform in major events and shows across Australia and Asia.
We create opportunities for creative and professional development, in a contemporary and dynamic circus art form. Classes include static trapeze, aerial tissue, ring, corde lisse, contortion, Spanish web, acrobatics and acrobalance, hula hoops, tightrope, juggling and more.
All classes are run to a 9 week term and students must enrol for a whole term. There are four terms per year. Due to the nature of the skills developed over time and for safety reasons we do not offer drop in classes.
