Dance. Fly. Run on walls.

Welcome to Off The Wall Aerial Dance — a company founded in 2019 by Becky, Charlotte and Grace: three dancers and aerialists rooted in the South West, united by a passion for flight, freedom and fearless creativity.

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.

We’re reimagining what vertical and aerial dance can be.

Fusing contemporary dance with shifting perspectives and bold innovation, we’re redefining how vertical dance is experienced and understood. Our work pushes boundaries—expanding access, growing audiences, and championing diversity of engagement across the South West and beyond.

At our core, we’re here to ignite imagination, awaken curiosity, and stir the child-like sense of wonder that lives in all of us.

Our performances flip dance on its head — literally.

Defying both gravity and convention, we reimagine vertical spaces and transform architecture into exhilarating stages. Our work takes dance to new heights — bold, breathtaking, and unforgettable.

Whether you’re looking to wow an audience at a public event, energise a community celebration, or create a striking moment for a corporate occasion, we offer bespoke performance packages tailored to your vision.

Get in touch to discuss how we can bring your event to life — Off The Wall style.

Opening Ceremony | Pyramid Stage | Glastonbury Festival

An unforgettable aerial odyssey, Dreamweaver’s Journey was the heartbeat of Glastonbury’s 2025 opening ceremony — a spectacular fusion of flight, sound, and collective spirit.

The show featured breathtaking wall running (which was led by Off The Wall Aerial Dance) 35 metres high on a carousel suspended from a crane — a gravity-defying centrepiece in a powerful story of unity and transformation.

This once-in-a-lifetime spectacle brought together a 200-strong choir, thundering taiko and marching drums, and a whirlwind of world-class circus acts, creating an epic ritual of togetherness — tribal, timeless, and truly Glastonbury.

Making Noise

A fusion of aerial and contemporary dance, these workshops are designed to help you find flight, explore vertical dance techniques, and move with boldness and freedom.

Led by Off The Wall’s unique blend of aerialists and dancers, you’ll journey through energising warm-ups, strength-building conditioning, technique, partner work, and playful exploration. Whether you’re new to the air or returning for more, we aim to leave you feeling empowered, inspired — and grinning from ear to ear.

“I had the best time! I wish I could do more of it. Just had the best time and had great support from everyone. Thank you.”
— Workshop Participant

Taking Flight

These workshops are all about building confidence, connection, and creativity — with feet both on and off the ground.

Using aerial equipment in fun and accessible ways, we focus on teamwork, trust, and joyful challenge. Delivered in a supportive and welcoming space, Taking Flight is designed to help participants push boundaries safely, uncover inner strength, and experience the magic of movement and suspension.

Currently in pilot phase, we’re working with specific community groups to shape a wider programme of Taking Flight workshops — and we can’t wait to expand.

“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.”
— Juliet (@theoldmorturary)
