Our Studio Is Officially Open 💜

We are beyond excited to share that Aerial Stilettos is now officially open in at The Royal Ordnance Depot Weedon Bec!

After months of planning, building, organising timetables, and dreaming big, opening day finally arrived — and the response from the local community has been absolutely incredible. The interest, messages, shares, and bookings we received have truly exceeded our expectations, and we cannot thank you enough for the support.

Opening Day Highlights

Our opening day was everything we hoped for and more. It was so special to finally welcome people into the studio, show you the space, meet new faces, and feel the excitement around aerial and dance in the local community.

We loved chatting with everyone who came along, answering questions, and seeing such enthusiasm for future classes. The support shown on the day — and in the days following — has been overwhelming, with several classes booking up very quickly. It truly confirmed that opening this studio was the right step.

Thank you to everyone who attended, shared our opening, recommended us to friends, or sent kind messages — you helped make our opening day unforgettable 💜

A Huge Thank You

As a small, independent studio, every booking, kind word, and recommendation means the world to us. You are helping us build not just a studio, but a welcoming, supportive community around aerial arts and dance.

Iwona & Doug

Founders of Aerial Stilettos

Recently AS embarked on a new challenge, this was going to be slight change to the normal performance and teaching side of AS.

Introducing Doug who looks after pretty much everything technical for AS, you will find me in the background working on thing like rigging, IT, lighting, sound and anything else that you can think of that is not done by Iwona.

Over the last year or so Doug has been learning and developing his skills in photography with the goal of being able to do our own inhouse photoshoots.

As you may expect getting the right results was a bit of a roller-coaster ride but you can see some of the better examples in the merchandise photos featuring Iwona as the patent model and also Silky.

And so after plenty of trials, rejected results and figuring things out and developing our own style, we were able to put together our first official photoshoot.

We decided the best way to advertise this was put out our example photos so our customers could decide for themselves if the results were desirable… and I’m glad to say feedback was positive.

The key in our style is body positivity and empowerment, we are proud of our girls and we are really pleased with the results, we don’t edit our models, only the backgrounds and colour profiles.

So let the final results speak for themselves and we look forward to more shoots to come.
