About
Dance. Fly. Run on walls.
Welcome to Off The Wall Aerial Dance — a female led company founded by Becky, Charlotte and Grace: three dancers and aerialists united by a passion for flight, freedom and fearless creativity and with over 30 collective years of harness experience.
Specialising in vertical dance (also known as wall running), their work blends harness-based movement with contemporary and floor-based dance, unlocking new possibilities in how we move and connect with space.
Through bold performances and dynamic workshops, Off The Wall invites audiences and participants alike to experience empowerment, play, and the pure exhilaration of defying gravity.

Backbone - Touring now 2026
Backbone is a feminist-led physical work that exposes strength as its most fundamental level. Set to an original remix of Stormzy’s Backbone, the piece strips the body back to its internal architecture, the spine, revealing power that exists beneath expectation, beauty & control. Performed in black unitards marked with white and blue neon skeletons, the dancers become living structures: resilient, collective, & unbreakable. Backbone asks what it means for women to stand upright in systems designed to bend them, and what survives when everything else is stripped away. This is a work about rage as fuel, solidarity as strength, & the unshakeable frameworks women build within themselves and each other.

Wipeout! – 2025
A partnership with Cscape Dance, commissioned by The National Maritime Museum Cornwall with additional funding from Arts Council England, FEAST Cornwall, Boardmasters, Cornwall Community Foundation and Hall for Cornwall.
Created by two of Cornwall’s leading performance companies, Cscape and Off The Wall Aerial Dance, WIPEOUT brings the spirit of the surf to life through daring aerial choreography, bold physical theatre, and a big splash of seaside silliness. Inspired by vintage surf culture and the SURF exhibition, this joyful performance takes over the museum with flips, spins, characters and chaos – all powered by wave-like movement and a sea-soaked soundtrack.
– In residency 130 shows Summer 2025. Touring 2026.
Tipping Point – 2023

“We were gently introduced to our silken slings and warmed up in such a way that trepidation was replaced with temptation to actively try everything that was suggested — however unthinkable moments earlier.”
