Special Class: Flying Pole 2.0
At the end of September, we held our first Flying Pole Special class with Lea Fierke—and it was fully booked in no time! Following this successful start, we are delighted that everyone on the waiting list who did not catch a spot last time now has the opportunity to participate: On October 28, Lea will take you back to the world of Flying Pole.
We will train for 75 minutes, combining dance with aerial pole artistry. This special class is aimed at anyone who already has pole experience and wants to learn new aerial elements and creative moves.

💬 Still got questions?
How does the payment system with the credits work?
With our IMA credits, you can book all classes, workshops and trainings fairly and flexibly. Choose between credit packages or a credit membership and design your training just the way you want it!
IMA Credits offer you maximum flexibility: you only need ONE card or membership that you can use for ALL classes, training sessions and workshops. You pay different amounts of credits depending on the category. The bigger your package, the cheaper your training will be.
Which classes are particularly suitable for beginners in aerial acrobatics?
We offer special Intro classes for Aerial Hoop and Aerial Silks for beginners with no previous experience, in which you will first build up strength, learn the basics, and get a feel for the equipment. Once you are ready, you can move on to the Beginner classes. No Intro class is required for Trapeze and Aerial Hammock, so you can participate in the classes even without any previous experience.
Have you always wanted to try aerial but aren't sure what suits you best? Then our All Aerial class with Zinnia is just the thing for you! Here you can try out different aerial acrobatics props before deciding on one.
Do you offer Open Training?
Yes! In Open Training, you can repeat what you have learned in class independently without a teacher. You use our equipment and usually have 90 minutes for your training.
Our Open Training is available for members and package holders of the IMA. M & L members can use their contract credits for this. S Members or holders of credit packages can purchase Open Training credits.
