Teaching
Since the year 2000 Lisa has been teaching a wide range of circus skills to all ages. Whilst at university Lisa dedicated her dissertation to the effects of community circus with youth at risk and this passion is still alive. Lisa teaches weekly aerial and hula hoop classes, community workshops in general circus skills, hen parties, aerial workshops and private/small group lessons. It is important to her that the next generation of circus performers are taught correct and safe methods and techniques, as well as the joy that comes from learning new tricks and the thrill of achieving difficult skills.
If you would like to join in hula hoop classes with your own hoop but don't have one yet, order one here

"Lisa was great, her instructions were so clear and we all felt like we'd had personal tuition in areas we were struggling in; she was so quick to give us clear, visual tips. As well Lisa was really friendly and chilled us out if we were feeling a bit anxious about an activity! She seemed to know exactly when to step in and quietly help after we'd had time to try things ourselves - mainly thinking of the trapeze! It was the perfect mix of activities for us. Genuinely inspired a few of us to take up juggling (was very therapeutic!)."

"Challenging and always fun!"

"Pitched everything at just the right level to get everyone taking part without feeling like they were being made to join in or compete with each other, especially those who would feel a bit self-conscious ordinarily."

"Lisa always motivates me to push myself to succeed. Her classes have been an amazing way to raise my self-confidence (knowing that I can hold myself 20ft in the air!) whilst increasing my core strength and fitness."
