Joe Ferreday

Aerial Hoop and Hammock Instructor

Joe aka Penny Farthing has been a hula hoop and aerial performer and teacher for around 3 years now, first falling in love with all things circus and generally showing off her awesome skills around 6 years ago. She is known for her sexy, sassy performance style and likes her lessons and workshops to be fun and relaxed so that everyone feels empowered and like they can get involved in circus arts.

Joe specialises in hula hoop and aerial hoop but also does sling/hammock, trapeze and chair dance and has a love of combining disciplines. Joe is also a qualified children and family yoga teacher!

As well as all this Joe is an Early Years Professional and has worked in the Early Years sector for the past decade, now teaching and assessing those who work with young children at a local college. Joe is a great believer in the power of play and how empowering movement can be and the boost it can give to anyone. She currently lives in South Cambs and home educates her two daughters too.

Dorigen Bell

Pole Instructor

Dorigen is our instructor with a flair for dance and creativity in pole. Since her degree in Dance with Aerial Performance Dorigen quickly became enamored with pole.

As a freelance artist she taught Pole Fitness classes in Ely for 3 years, successfully establishing a large and inclusive community of polers in the area, whilst also teaching lyra hoop and contemporary dance technique. In addition to her dance she has performed with fire props across the UK for a wide range of venues and festivals, including Secret Garden Party.

Dorigen like many of us here at aerial motion have taken the opportunity to get involved in workshops from world class polers in the UK and whilst previously living in Australia.

Cheyenne Wilson

Cheyenne is the newest addition to our wonderful team here at Aerial Motion. She has been poling since being a student of Emily’s back in 2017. She also trains with our friends at the Pole Shed in Ely. Chey has previously coached in gymnastics and dancing for young people. She is also now an Xpert trained pole instructor as well as a certified acro instructor. Not to mention she does a whole bunch of modelling which I can say we’re always in awe of! *Currently awaiting a photo*

With her range of knowledge Chey loves to get people reaching their limits in stretch and flex and mastering flow in her pole classes. She’s a big bundle of joy with such great energy that’s impossible to not absorb!

Katie Pugh

Katie started poling in 2017 as one of Emily’s first ever students she soon became addicted! Katie has also since fallen in love with aerial hoop and with her skills learned from pole soon matched up her hoop skills.

Katie is known as the queen of conditioning in our studio, always having an eye for the activation of specific muscles to master moves and cheering her students on to build their strength.

Katie completed her XPERT aerial hoop instructor training in February 2020 and has built dedicated and enthusiastic hoop students from the outset. Outside of the studio Katie spends time riding and taking care of her horse Noddy.

Abi Robbins
