Welcome to SBB
We are a training school for aerial circus in west Wales.
We teach aerial circus to young people and adults from beginner level upwards. Our weekly classes happen during school terms and we also offer summer school experiences and one-off workshops/masterclasses.
All students experience a mix of apparatus across the term including static trapeze, rope/silks and sling/hammock. Our youngest aerial class begins at age 5+ but there is no upper age limit to participation!
Each 1.5h session is £17 bookable in blocks of half-term. We offer taster session for the adult classes only at £22 each. See contact below.
Our aerial tutors include Jess Allen, Emma Stevens, Sophie Ivil and Gracey Hart Founded in 2017.
