LEAD INSTRUCTOR: DANII
After her first experience of the world of aerial arts whilst at University in Leeds over 15 years ago, Danii was hooked! Starting out with Hoop and Pole Fitness she quickly progressed onto aerial silks and static trapeze before training internationally in Aerial Yoga and Bungee Dance.
In January 2014 she began her teaching journey, completing instructor training in teaching aerial arts from renowned aerialist Serenity Smith Forchion, formally of Cirque du Soleil. Since then Danii has continued to develop her aerial teaching skills, completing various different professional aerial and circus instructor trainings including a rigging certification in order to provide her students with the best possible experience, and various international performance training residencies.
Danii is most passionate about creating a safe place for people of all shapes and sizes to laugh, play and feel beautiful and you can usually find her writing lesson plans for her next weird and wonderful workshop!

INSTRUCTOR: VICKY
Vicky started attending bungee fitness classes with Flight Aerial Arts in October 2021, when a friend asked her to come along. Having no idea what to expect, she enjoyed the experience so much that she quickly became a regular, developing a passion for learning and performing new routines and tricks, as well as encouraging those new to the class.
In 2023, Vicky was given the opportunity to train as a bungee fitness instructor. She took to the training enthusiastically, and soon enough was fully qualified and teaching her own classes.
Vicky's classes provide a balance of dance based choreography, fitness routines and gravity defying tricks. Vicky teaches through demonstrations and verbal cues, helping to develop trust and confidence using the bungee equipment in a friendly environment, catering to all fitness and experience levels.
