Cloud Aerial Arts

I’ve been pole dancing for three years now and in that time I’ve tried out four different pole/​aerial schools. Cloud Aerial Arts is by far the best. This is mainly down to the owner Maria, who is a fantastic teacher. She’s very encouraging, inclusive and always remembers where you’re up to progress-​wise.
One thing I like about this aerial school is that classes are quite structured. Each month Maria provides you with a series of moves to work on, which make up a routine. This is based on your level, whether beginner, intermediate or advanced. Everyone in the class is friendly and supportive, and it’s a really welcoming and unintimidating space.
You can now buy the Cloud Pass for £100 a month which means you can attend all classes in both the City Centre (Studio 25 on Church Street) and the Sky Loft (which is the main studio on Ancoats). There are 7 classes a week, so that works out as a really cheap £3.50ish a class if you can get to everything. The Ancoats studio has free parking too. The classes are pole dance, aerial hoop, aerial silks, acrobalance and stretch, as well as workshops for hula hoop, belly dance and other fun things in the sky: D
If you’re after a place to try out all of these fun things, I would definitely opt for Cloud Aerial Arts. Life is better upside down!
