The aerial disciplines taught

Aerial silks constitute one of the main disciplines taught.

Aerial hoop is also among the apparatus practiced.

Students learn different moves and gradually build sequences.

The trapeze holds a particularly important place in the school's identity.

Sue Moreno is herself a professional trapeze artist and has extensive experience in this discipline.

The aerial hammock complements the training offer.

Physical preparation and flexibility

The practice is not limited to learning the moves on the apparatus.

Creating numbers is part of school life.

Students can imagine and prepare their own sequences.
