Members of ADCH will be taught by Gillian in Aerial Dance skills for the next 12 weeks followed by a 12 week rehearsal process.

The rehearsed piece will be performed at a number of outdoor events throughout Herefordshire in Summer 2015 that will be open to the general public. Venues already confirmed include HCA, Riverside Carnival, Spring Greens Festival at Court of Noke and Open Garden at Newport House.
