Description
Welome to UOB Pole and Aerial Arts Society!
Fancy giving Pole Fitness, Aerial Hoop, or Aerial Silks a go? Aerial arts are a great fun way to get fit, build strength, become flexible and meet new people. No previous experience or fitness required. Everyone is welcome!
Pink Kitten Dance School is our partner studio, who offer lessons from qualified instructors in pole, aerial hoop, aerial silks, dance, flexibility, and much more. The society also offers free open practices at the Students' Union to build confidence in the moves you have been taught & to socialise with other members. These are open to members of all ability levels. We also offer free student-run stretch classes, and floorwork classes for our members!
We also organise 2 showcases every year (A Christmas and a Summer showcase), as well as photoshoots, competitions, special workshops and loads more!
