Our Story

Based above Dunnes on Exchequer Street in Dublin City Centre, Aerial Cirque is a home for budding and professional aerialists.  We teach adult and children’s aerial classes and provide stunning high end aerial performances for festivals, corporate events, launches, night clubs, runways, weddings, and more.


The Studio

We have a beautiful studio on Exchequer Street in an old dilapidated Victorian building. It needed a lot of love and care when we took it over, and that's exactly what we gave it. For me, the studio itself is a work of art. From exposing the decades through rainbows of plaster to discovering a fireplace and finding old buttons between the century old tongue and groove floor boards, the studio continues to inspire me to create and choreograph.  It's a constant project that we're working on, so don't be surprised if it looks a bit different from the last time you came to visit.

The Students

Check out our students who have been with us awhile and took part in our student showcase at the Aerial Cirque studio in May 2016. The student showcase consists of group performances choreographed by Ria Murphy and mentored solo acts. 

We have something for everyone and welcome all levels! Never done aerial before? Not a problem! Check out what people have gotten up to in their first session during our Taster Workshop. 


Meet Charlie, our studio mascot!

In June 2021, little Charlie joined us at the studio as our official mascot! You’ll sometimes see him greeting you at reception, he might cuddle up to you during Open Studio, he gets the crowd going at performances, and he loves to pose for a photo, sure don’t we all!

Be sure to give him a hello when you’re in next!
