Space to Train, Create & Move
Our 100 m² Main Studio is the heart of TADAH’s training facilities — a bright, spacious and highly adaptable training space for circus, aerial, dance, movement and creative group work.
With a ceiling height of up to 7.5 metres, extensive mirrors, professional dance flooring, powerful climate control and multiple aerial rigging possibilities, groups can shape the space around their own practice.
The Basics
- Approx. 100 m² floor space — 12.6 × 7.9 m
- Ceiling height from 5.5 m to 7.5 m
- Large mirrored wall — 13.5 × 2.5 m
- Three glass walls with plenty of natural light
- Professional dance flooring
- 50,000 BTU air-conditioning system
- Full-length blackout curtains
- Mosquito screens on all windows and doors
- Sound system with easy connection to phones and laptops
- 10 individually switchable ceiling lights
- Blacklight
- Located approximately 15 m from the communal living area
Groups of 10 or more staying at TADAH can schedule up to 6 hours of exclusive Main Studio use per day.
Aerial & Rigging
The Main Studio was built with aerial training in mind.
Its curved roof is supported by three parallel steel beams, creating multiple possibilities for rigging throughout the space. The ceiling ranges from approximately 5.5 m at its lowest point to 7.5 m at its highest point.
A movable scaffold/platform provides access to the overhead structure for installing and changing aerial equipment.
Three pulley systems are also available, making it possible to raise and lower equipment without accessing the roof structure every time.
Understanding the Rigging-Point Diagram
The diagram below shows the spacing between possible positions along the roof structure and helps aerial groups plan their setup before arrival.

🟡 Yellow: approximately 2 m between positions — 15 positions shown
🔴 Red: approximately 2.5–3 m between positions — 10 positions shown
This is particularly useful when planning several apparatuses simultaneously — for example hammocks, silks, hoops, straps or slings — where the required working distance depends on the apparatus and type of training.
Rigging Responsibility
Groups using the aerial infrastructure must have someone with the appropriate experience to rig and assess their own setup safely.
Till is happy to help groups understand the studio, access the rigging structure and work out practical solutions. However, each group remains responsible for its own rigging, equipment, knots, connections and final safety checks.
Safe & Easy Access to the Rigging Structure
Our movable scaffolding means there is no need to work from a ladder when accessing the ceiling structure. Aerial artists can climb up from inside the scaffold and position it directly underneath the required rigging point.
This makes it much easier and more comfortable to reach points that are not connected to one of the pulley systems — a small but very practical feature that has been much appreciated by the aerial community over the years.
Everyone using the training facilities is required to accept TADAH’s studio and training terms before use.
Three 2:1 Pulley Systems
Three dedicated 2:1 pulley systems make it possible to raise and lower aerial equipment without accessing the ceiling structure for every change.
Each system runs from a high-level anchor point down through a pulley and back up through industrial-grade pulleys permanently mounted to the steel roof structure. From there, the rope is redirected along the curved roof beam towards the wall and vertically down to floor level.
At floor level, each system terminates at a redundant double anchoring point, using two steel eyes permanently fixed into the building structure / concrete foundation.
This setup makes changing apparatuses considerably quicker and more convenient — particularly during intensive aerial training where equipment may need to be raised, lowered or exchanged several times throughout the day.
As with all aerial rigging at TADAH, groups are responsible for assessing their own setup and ensuring that their equipment, connections and intended use are appropriate for the loads involved.
If you are planning a larger or unusual aerial setup, just let us know beforehand. We are happy to discuss what can realistically be arranged in the space.

- 9 connectable 15 cm crash mats
The crash mats can be combined into three 2 × 3 m landing areas with 45 cm total thickness.
More Space to Train
The Main Studio is only part of TADAH’s training infrastructure.
Directly outside is an outdoor training area and calisthenics park, including full-size parallel bars, pull-up stations and various bodyweight-training structures.
TADAH also has a 75 m² Small Studio with its own training equipment, including a Pilates reformer.

Climate & Comfort
Spring and autumn offer particularly comfortable training conditions at TADAH.
For warmer days, the Main Studio has a 50,000 BTU air-conditioning system and full-length blackout curtains, allowing groups to reduce both heat and direct sunlight.
With the curtains open, the glass walls provide abundant natural light and views of the surrounding landscape.
Mosquito screens on all windows and doors mean the studio can also be ventilated without inviting the local wildlife to join your training.
A Space with a History
For more than a decade, the Main Studio has been used by circus artists, aerialists, dancers, jugglers and movement practitioners from around the world.
The video below was filmed during Aerial Camp 2016. Although TADAH has continued to evolve since then, it still gives a good impression of the studio’s dimensions, ceiling height and aerial possibilities.
