Charlie began ballet at a young age and has always had a strong passion for music and the performing arts. Growing up in a musical family, she learned to play the cello, piano, and guitar. Her dance journey was shaped by influential choreographers such as Christopher Bruce, Matthew Bourne, and Alvin Ailey, which inspired her to pursue a BA (Hons) in Dance at Bath Spa University. She later went on to complete her PGCE in Secondary Dance in 2017.

Charlie’s aerial journey began in 2015 with pole, but it wasn’t long before she discovered her love for aerial hoop. After several years of training and performing, she began teaching aerial hoop in 2024 with Pickup Dance School (PDS), working with children and teens. That same year, she joined Be in the Sky (BITS)—first as a student in the advanced aerial hoop classes, and shortly after, as a teacher for the Aerial Kids classes with PDS. In 2025, she also joined the BITS showcase troupe, bringing her unique blend of musicality, dance artistry, and aerial expertise into the studio.

Charlie’s classes guide students through the foundations of aerial hoop, focusing on key moves, clean shapes, and smooth transitions—with an emphasis on technique and conditioning. Her goal is to create a safe, supportive, and joyful environment where movement feels freeing and exercise never feels like a chore. The studio is her happy place—where you can be yourself, explore freely, and trust that what doesn’t happen today might just happen tomorrow. And yes, the crash mats are always there.

Hi! I’m Hannah and I’m from Southampton. I can vividly remember starting pole after seeing a poster in a window.. and guess what? I never stopped! (And hopefully never will!)

I love all styles of pole, but spinning pole captivated me from the start. There’s something very meditative about floating and flying around in mid air! The more speed the better!

I teach the spinning pole workshop at Be in the Sky, and love sharing my passion with others- I’ll always love to get people to try pole! I love to freestyle flow, and pole is my creative outlet… and hopefully yours too!

Be it a spinny combo or pretty shapes, come and give it a go with me :)

Look forward to seeing you at a class !

Jo trained as a dancer at Trinity Laban and has been teaching dance for over 18 years in schools and colleges in London and Hampshire. She found a natural love for yoga when she moved to Winchester and then added Vinyasa Yoga to her portfolio in 2015 when she became a member of Yoga Alliance, having completed 200 hours of RYT at the School of Yoga Institute's training in Costa Rica. Alongside doing her own aerial classes, she has been teaching student and adult yoga classes ever since and loves being able to help people achieve progress in their practice. 

Nicola has never loved exercise or sports - until she found pole fitness back in 2016 and never looked back. She has dabbled in other aerial sports but has always gravitated back to pole and eventually started pole dance in 2019 - it's safe to say she was not a natural and has the video evidence to prove it!

Nicola also started commercial and heels dance back in 2019, and fell in love with the freedom to express herself, the supportive environment and the confidence boost that it gave.

Pole dance alongside dance classes has led to her love of musicality and characterisation in her choreography classes. She has come a long way from the child everyone joked didn't have a creative bone in her body!

Nicola started teaching pole heels classes in November 2024, with her main aim being to help others build their confidence, and of course, have fun in the process! In Nicola's workshops, you can expect a supportive, uplifting environment, silliness (Nicola is a child at heart) and a hell of a lot of sass (and some occasional twerking).
