Hi, i'm Michael and I've been dangling from the ceiling in one way or another since 2014. ​Before that I was a professional dancer training at London Studio Centre and working across the UK and Europe. 

In 2016 I trained with Serenity Smith of Nimble Arts to complete his instructor training and have since taught at Paradise Fitness, Top Banana Circus before setting up Aerial Dance Academy in Portsmouth at the start of 2020 - what timing.

 

I teach aerial hoop, silks, trapeze, acro and circus skills to all ages and levels - from beginners through to our competitive aerialists. 

I love introducing people to a new skill and seeing that self belief kick in when they see they are capable of so much more than they give themselves credit for! 

​

Along side running ADA I also co run South Coast Aerial Tournament and most recently you can see me in the latest Spin City Instructor Training demonstrating silks, sling and trapeze! 

​

When I'm not deconstructing drops and finding ways to get tangled in the trapeze ropes - you can usually find me watching Drag Race, in an escape room or walking his miniature schnoodle - Basil.
