💫 Ascend: The Only Way Is UP

For Ages 13–17 | After-School & Mobile Movement Program

Welcome to Ascend — the teen evolution of the Young Flyers movement. Designed for ages 13–17, this is more than just a class. It's a space to belong, express, and grow — physically, emotionally, and creatively.

Whether it’s after school at our Nuneaton studio or as part of our mobile outreach program, Ascend gives teens a chance to build strength in body and resilience in mind — through aerial arts, mindful movement, breathwork, and grounded community support.

Led by empowering instructors Crystal Gibson, Kya Sanders and Alice Hilary — creative, compassionate teachers with backgrounds in dance, movement, education and youth mentoring — Ascend is about becoming the strongest version of yourself, inside and out. More on teachers bio below.

We believe:

• Strength is beautiful

• Confidence is built, not born

• Community is everything

• And flight is a mindset

If you’ve ever felt out of place, uninspired, or like no one sees your potential — this is for you.
Your body is your power. Your story is your strength. And your wings? They’re already growing.

Her superpower? Translating complex movement into clear, empowering steps—helping students of all levels build both skill and self-belief. Her classes are known for being equal parts fun, structured, and heart-centered, often leaving students feeling more confident than when they walked in.

Whether you're learning to fly for the first time or rediscovering your power, Alice’s classes are a reminder that movement can be a form of magic—and you already have everything you need inside you to rise.

🌟 Kya Sanders – Orbits Kids and Ascend: The Only way is UP! at Fly GIrls & Fly Girls Aerial Hoop Instructor and other forms of fitness.

In addition to her work with us, she also teaches at Stagecoach Performing Arts and several other youth-centered programs across the region.

Her secret? Kya’s a big kid at heart—playful, funny, and endlessly creative—but she knows exactly what she’s doing. She runs a tight ship, blending warmth with discipline in a way that builds respect, trust, and growth. Her students leave class not just stronger, but prouder, bolder, and more confident in who they are.

With Kya, expect high standards, high energy, and a whole lot of heart.

🌈 Orbit Kids: Young Flyers in Motion

For Ages 7–12 | After-School & Mobile Movement Program

Welcome to Orbit Kids — a joyful, body-positive space where young girls explore movement, imagination, and emotional confidence through aerial arts, creative play, and expressive dance.

Designed for ages 7–12 — the powerful in-between years — Orbit Kids helps girls build body trust, creative voice, and connection to one another. Around age 9, many girls begin to feel the pull of comparison and competition. At Orbit, we do the opposite — we strengthen the sisterhood.

Led by empowering instructors Crystal Gibson, Kya Sanders and Alice Hilary — creative, compassionate teachers with backgrounds in dance, movement, education and youth mentoring — Ascend is about becoming the strongest version of yourself, inside and out. More on teachers bio below.

We create an environment where:

• Girls trust their bodies in flight

• Speak through movement

• Play with imagination

• And feel the joy of being supported and seen by other girls

Through hoop work, breathwork, storytelling, and group games, each session builds strength in body, creativity in mind, and compassion in heart.

Because when girls grow up together, lifting each other as they rise —
they remember who they are for life.
