SKY HIGH ARTS
Inspiring you to take your world to new heights
Welcome to Sky High Arts! - Aerial Arts, Dance Trapeze, Community Arts and Circus
Sky High Arts is an aerial dance, community arts and contemporary circus community interest company. We are based in St Ives, Cornwall.
We combine mindfulness with aerial dance, circus, arts and performance into unique classes and projects that will change your life.
We offer weekly classes for children and young people in static trapeze, silks, rope and hoop and for adults we run an aerial and well-being class. Our sessions are designed to get as many people as possible into the air!
Please see our classes page for details of our current weekly courses.
We have two free-standing trapeze rigs that we can take to your community event or festival for children and young people to 'have a go' and for performances. Please see our outreach page for more details.
We also run a Youth Teaching Assistant and Performance Training Programme - an in-depth training programme for young people who want to take aerial, circus and performance further.
We believe that aerial dance can change your life - so let us help you get your feet off the ground and take your world to new heights!

This teaching programme has been created to increase the quality and safety of aerial teaching in the world.
We ran 12 free sessions combining mindfulness with balance and aerial dance. A huge THANK YOU to National Grid Community Fund for awarding us £6,000 to run these free taster sessions.
