Tanzfabrik Chur – Aerial Acrobatics School

Tanzfabrik Chur is a school specializing in dance, pole acrobatics and aerial disciplines, located in Chur, in the canton of Grisons in Switzerland.

The structure was born from the merger of two local studios, Art of Pole and 08sechzehn , bringing together their experiences and skills around a common project dedicated to movement and acrobatic arts.

The establishment is run in particular by Tamara and Robin , accompanied by a team of teachers offering different courses adapted to the ages and levels of the participants.

Although Tanzfabrik Chur is not a traditional multidisciplinary circus school, it develops a genuine regular teaching of aerial arts, with courses specially designed for children, teenagers and adults.

The Kids & Teens program

The youngest children have a program called Kids & Teens , organized into two main age groups: children aged 7 to 9 and teenagers aged 10 to 16 .

The sessions take place weekly and last 60 minutes .

The subjects taught

The Aerial Crossover

One of the main courses offered is Aerial Crossover , an introductory course allowing you to discover several complementary disciplines: aerial silks, aerial hoop and acrobatic pole.

This approach offers beginners the opportunity to experiment with different apparatus before possibly choosing a discipline to pursue further.

Aerial Silks

Aerial silks, also known as Aerial Silks , allows students to discover acrobatic figures performed on long strips of fabric suspended from the ceiling.

This practice notably mobilizes strength , coordination , body control and creativity .

The aerial hoop

Aerial hoop, or Aerial Hoop , is another important specialty of the school.

Participants gradually learn different positions, transitions and acrobatic combinations on a suspended ring.

The teaching combines the development of strength , flexibility and balance with an aesthetic exploration of movement.

The acrobatic pole

Acrobatic pole complements this offering by providing a physical activity based on figures, movements and sequences performed around a vertical bar.

Students thus develop endurance , coordination , mobility and control of their bodies .

The Aerial Flex

The school also offers Aerial Flex courses, notably using aerial fabric as a support to progressively improve mobility and functional flexibility.

Adult classes

For adults, Tanzfabrik Chur offers a diverse range of courses including pole dancing, aerial silks, aerial hoop and various complementary courses around dance and movement.

The educational organization allows for the inclusion of people without prior experience.

Beginner courses are designed to discover the fundamentals in a structured and suitable environment.

Students who have already been introduced to the subject can continue their learning at the levels corresponding to their progress.

Pedagogical approach

The school places particular emphasis on individual development , self-confidence and the pleasure of practice .

Its educational project is based on an inclusive approach, welcoming people of different ages, genders and physical conditions.

The goal is to allow everyone to discover their abilities, develop their strength and express themselves through movement.

Trial sessions and registration

Free trial sessions are offered to discover a discipline before registering.

A one- month trial also allows participants to try out several courses to identify the practices that best suit their desires.

Regular courses primarily operate on a system of trimesters and semesters .

For children and teenagers, the organization follows the school terms of the city of Chur, with a specific registration for the Kids & Teens program.

The school also offers workshops , private lessons and semi-private sessions .

These formats allow, in particular, for working on a specific technical difficulty, deepening knowledge of a discipline, or benefiting from individualized support.

The studio and its facilities

Tanzfabrik Chur also has a studio that can accommodate various aerial and physical practices.

Its facilities include pole bars, several aerial hoops, ceiling attachment points and landing mats.

The structure can therefore accommodate both its own students and other speakers or practitioners through space rentals .

With its permanent offering of aerial silks, hoop and acrobatic pole, Tanzfabrik Chur is a specialist address for discovering aerial arts in Chur.

It represents an interesting alternative to general circus schools for children, teenagers and adults wishing to focus more specifically on aerial disciplines and body expression.
