Aerial Hoop Rise
Welcome to Rise
Strength. Confidence. Progression.
Rise is where your Aerial Hoop journey really begins to flourish.
By this stage you’ve developed strong foundations, built confidence through Take Off and are ready to challenge yourself with more complex skills, combinations and movement.
You’ll continue following our structured 8-week course pathway, allowing each week to build naturally on the last. As your confidence grows, so will your strength, technique and creativity.
This is where many students begin to discover just how capable they really are.
Who is Rise for?
Rise is suitable for students who:
✔ Have successfully completed Take Off
✔ Demonstrate consistent technique and body awareness
✔ Are confident linking movements together
✔ Are ready to develop more challenging skills and combinations
If you’re unsure whether Rise is the right stage, your instructor will be happy to guide you.
What You’ll Be Working Towards
Rise is about developing quality movement as much as learning new skills.
Throughout the course you’ll continue building:
- Stronger mounts, transitions and flowing combinations
- Greater strength, endurance and aerial control
- Increased body awareness, balance and confidence in the hoop
- More fluid movement and seamless transitions between shapes
- Improved technique, positioning and execution
- Creative sequencing and dynamic movement around the hoop
- Preparation for more advanced aerial skills and longer combinations
Every course follows a structured progression, ensuring you continue developing safely and consistently.
Continue Building Your Strength
As skills become more challenging, so do the physical demands of Aerial Hoop.

The stronger your body becomes, the more confident you’ll feel as your skills continue to develop.
