Mini MAAC is a smaller more intimate version of our Big MAAC. It's still a three day convention that brings together the best instructors from the UK to teach workshops in your favourite aerial activities but it's aimed at a more intermediate level so we won't be running intro to aerial classes. We will of course have intro classes in some unusual disciplines such as chains and spanish web though.
There are 13 classes over the weekend, 3 on Friday and 5 each on Saturday and Sunday. Each class is usually 1hr15 and there are breaks of 30 minutes between each class. There will be a choice of at least 6 classes in every single slot so you will have a whole host of classes to choose from. Each class has a maximum of 3 people to a piece of aerial equipment and 15 people in a class so you will get individual attention from the teacher and you will get a lot out of each workshop.
To get the most out of MAAC the most important thing is stamina. This doesn’t mean you need to be able to go hard all weekend, even the most seasoned aerialists find MAAC tough. The key here is to spread yourself out. Don’t do back to back advanced aerial classes, break them up with a nice yoga class or a fun dance class. Give your hands a break, let your muscles recover.
Sign in for the convention is any time from 12pm on Friday up til 1.30pm. You can sign in at either venue. If you're not here on Friday or you're just doing a day ticket just sign in when you arrive.
Hoodies can be collected or bought from Cloud Piccadilly.
Warm up is on Friday at 1.45pm, Saturday at 9.30am and 1.45pm and Sunday at 9.30am and 1.45pm. If you miss the group warm up you need to warm yourself properly and you will also need to rewarm yourself up in the breaks before your next classes. Don't risk injuring yourself by not warming up properly!
There are first aiders on site and your teachers are also first aid qualified. If you need first aid please see your teacher immediately and they will assist you. All accidents or injuries, no matter how small, need to be immediately reported to your teacher who will take further action.
If you have any queries or questions email us at manchesteraac@gmail.com or during the convention just ask any of the MAAC reception staff or teachers.
