Our Team
Emily
Emily is the owner of Aerial Empire and has been doing pole for 5 and a half years. She completely fell in love with it and gave up her previous dream of becoming a doctor to do pole full time instead!
She won Lincolnshire pole doubles with her doubles partner and is set to enter many competitions in 2018. See the routine here:
Emily loves flips and power spins most of all, if you want to see Emily's style check out her Instagram here
Georgie
Georgie started pole in 2020, completely falling in love with it shortly before the pandemic closed the studio. She got a pole in her flat and feels so lucky to have the support of the other Aerial Empire Instructors to continue learning online during that time.
Georgie loves to teach floaty spin pole sequences and flowy (but fun!) routines on static pole. She is passionate about finding slow and controlled movements but also about students just enjoying themselves and finding their own personal style. Georgie is an Xpert Qualified Instructor and joined the team in 2023, teaching Pole alongside her career in Higher Education Management. Check out her Instagram here
Amber
Amber is a pole instructor and started pole at Aerial Empire in 2022, coming from a none exercise background Amber became quickly addicted to pole and aerial and the supportive and fun community and strength that comes with it.
She is continually trying to improve her aerial knowledge and skills to help to teach others that fall in love with aerial and give them the best experiences possible and find their own style.
You can generally find Amber doing strength tricks however also has a love for heels tricks and flow, basically all things pole!
Fern
Fern walked into her first upside down class in 2015 and has dabbled in all areas of aerial since but her heart truly lies with hoop, lollipop, silks and contortion. I mean what’s a better party trick than sitting on your own head? She started teaching hoop in 2018 and stretch in 2020 and is beyond excited to meet anyone sharing the same love of the aerial arts. Usually in the studio with her sidekick buddy the absolute love for aerial and her aerial empire family is what makes her world go round.
Berni
Berni's first pole class was April 2018. She considers herself incredibly lucky to have a teacher who was invested in her and my progress. Now she wants to do the same for her students.
She is qualified with Spin City as a Pole instructor and a Strength and Conditioning coach.
She love pole, pizzas, exotic heels and hoop. Meanwhile she also works full time, and is an amateur artist and local historian!
Sophie
Sophie started aerial hoop in 2018 and has been hooked ever since. As an ex-ballerina Sophie loves incorporating the elegance of dance in the air combined with dramatic drops and rolls.
Sophie won several aerial hoop competitions in 2022 and prides herself in choreographing beautiful flowy routines. She values musicality and emotion when creating new routines and enjoys spreading the joy that aerial has given her to all her students. Sophie can't wait to share her passion and help her students develop their own style and flow in her classes.
When she's not in the air Sophie is a veterinary nurse and is a huge cat lover!
Sarah
Sarah fell in love with pole at University – this is where she met Emily. They became instant friends and she has been training alongside her ever since! She has been teaching pole since 2017 and has watched Aerial Empire grow from an idea to everyone's second home. In addition to teaching, Sarah also still really enjoys being a student at the studio so you will regularly find her attending classes and broadening her aerial skills. She has recently found an additional love of static trapeze.
Rebecca
I started my own aerial hoop training doubting that I would even get on a hoop and now I am so proud of some of the crazy things I have achieved. I have since dabbled in most equipment going as well as flex and contortion and couldn’t think of a better way to spend my day! I encourage everyone to come and try a class, and you will be surprised at what you can achieve when you give yourself a chance to try. My lessons are all about getting out of the house, having an hour to yourself and having a giggle. Regressions and progressions are always available to build up your confidence and leave you feeling strong, come and explore the upside-down world with me!
