At Tempest Dance and Fitness, you can explore various dance styles such as pole dance, aerial hoop, aerial yoga, aerial silks, trapeze, and more! Whether you're a beginner or an advanced dancer, our experienced instructors will ensure that there's a session tailored to your level of experience.

Let's start with pole fitness, a fun and empowering workout that focuses on muscular endurance and coordination. Suitable for all ages and abilities, our PDC certified instructor Mandy Tempest will guide you through basic spins, poses, and seats, helping you become a graded dancer.

If you're looking to explore a unique form of dance, aerial hoop is the perfect choice. Combining dance, circus skills, choreography, and fitness, aerial hoop allows you to perform a variety of moves, drops, and poses on a large steel hoop suspended from the ceiling. It's a fantastic way to target all major muscle groups and improve strength and flexibility.

For those interested in aerial silk, also known as tissue or fabric, our classes are designed to help you build strength, flexibility, and concentration skills. From learning wraps and figures to mastering inverts and poses, you'll discover muscles you never knew you had. And if you're keen on trying the aerial sling, we may include that too!

Experience the exhilaration of aerial trapeze, another dance form that combines various elements to build strength, flexibility, and dance skills. Whether you're performing poses, rolls, or hangs, our sessions cater to all levels, including beginners.

If you're seeking a unique approach to yoga, you'll love aerial yoga. This innovative practice improves mobility, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, core strength, balance, coordination, and more. With the hammock providing a sense of weightlessness, you'll enjoy greater comfort and freedom of movement.

And don't worry, there's something for the younger ones too! Our kids aerial classes focus on teaching technique and skills in a playful and creative environment. From trapeze and sling to silks, hoop, and even pole, your child will have a blast while exploring their potential.
