We've been a little more lenient with clothing over the summer due to the extreme heat, 🥵 including reducing the amount of hoop and trapeze in our kids classes and carefully planning lessons to reduce friction on the backs of the knees for those wearing shorts.
Now that the weather has cooled down, here's a reminder for all students about what to wear.
Leggings and a leotard or leggings and a t-shirt are always the best option. 👍
- Leggings are a must. If you or your child still wants to wear shorts, bring leggings with you because some equipment and moves are uncomfortable on your legs. Aerial can cause friction burns if you aren't properly covered up.
Cotton or cotton blend leggings are best. If the leggings are too shiny/slippy they will slide on the silks.
- Avoid cropped tops. Anyone taking circus classes should have their stomach covered by either a t-shirt and leggings or leotard and leggings / unitard.
- Loose clothing is not ideal for aerial and discouraged. It can get caught up in wraps and make certain moves harder.
- No clothing with zips or velcro is permitted - this can snag the silks and slings.
- As we get into the colder months, no hoodies are permitted. If you or your child feels the cold, a sweatshirt with no hood or long sleeve t-shirt/leotard are suitable options.
- Remove jewellery before class. The only jewellery permitted is small earring studs, which are discouraged and worn at your own risk.
