European Aerial Dance Festival 2025

Well that was EADF 2025 . Honestly I’m sure I say this every year but this was absolutely our best festival yet!

We welcomed over 150 people to the wonderful Worthing Pavilion and had a blast. Huge thanks to everyone who came along and here’s just a little of what folks had to say about it:

The opportunity to learn from the best of the best, pioneers if their craft and the kindest of beings is a unique one. Not to be dramatic but this festival changed my life the first time I came and it continues to be a healing, wondrous experience. Yet again I come away from the festival with even more curiosity and lots of generous knowledge and gifts to absorb and integrate into my practice.

The festival brought me so much more than just aerial practice. I’ve never participated in an event that was so open to visible & invisible diversity & disabilities. It was a shock for me to realise how segregated our communities/societies are & how evident it was that recognising & finding support in each other brings so much more richness.

I loved when I clearly made progress but also discovering that progress is not just about getting the trick but the journey – travelling along the line of practice, getting to know & respect your own body, energy, how to move & when to rest ….

This festival & community is so very special & unique. I can’t put into words what it gives me – not just in aerial but in my soul. Thank you EADF you make me feel whole

Just a massive thank you for making this festival happen. It has been so much more than a festival for me. A journey of personal growth and artistic development. I wish it ran longer!
