This class is for kids with aerial silks experience. You will focus on learning a variety of “footlock” poses, being able to climb to the top of the silks, and working up to open fabric wraps. You will be introduced to levels of conditioning to prepare the students for more challenging skills. Emphasis is on the maintenance and improvement of
strength, ensuring that participants keep pace with the evolving skill levels. Using the foundation we created over the last sessions the focus will be on learning to feel confident in skills outside of a knot.

​

Sequences & Silhouettes focuses on advancing open wraps, mastering the subtleties of creating moments of pause within each skill. As we progress, the commitment to conditioning and stretching continues, progressively preparing students for the complexities of more challenging maneuvers. Emphasis is on the maintenance and improvement of strength, ensuring that participants keep pace with the evolving skill levels. Expanding on the skills learned from the previous sessions we will be learning how to combine fundamentals and finding new shapes within our skills.

​

Prerequisites: Previous aerial silks experience.  You are able to climb the silks and perform footlocks, inversions, hiplocks, and beginner open wraps. You will be working on more advanced open wraps and learning to build sequences.

Drops focuses on the exploration of advanced open wraps and the art of constructing sequences that seamlessly flow into dynamic aerial movements and different drops. As we progress, the commitment to conditioning and stretching continues, progressively preparing students for the complexities of more challenging maneuvers. Emphasis is on the maintenance and improvement of strength, ensuring that participants keep pace with the evolving skill levels. Expanding on the skills learned from the previous sessions we will be learning how to use our fundamentals to find dynamic movements and connecting entrances and exits.

​

Prerequisites: Previous aerial silks experience.  You will be working on more advanced open wraps, different types of drops and learning to build sequences that lead to a drop.

This class is for complete beginners or people getting back into the air. You will be introduced to basic hangs, knots, climb wraps and a variety of skills and poses. Whether you are looking for a fun way to workout or to further explore the world of circus arts, this class offers something for everyone.

Each session is designed to blend fun and fitness seamlessly, providing a holistic approach to aerial training.

Aerial Silks 1 is focused on learning a variety of “footlock” poses, being able to climb to the top of the silks, and working up to simple inversions and hipkeys. You will be introduced to levels of conditioning and stretching to prepare the students for more
challenging skills.  Emphasis is on the maintenance and improvement of strength, ensuring that participants keep pace with the evolving skill levels. Using the foundation we created over the last sessions the focus will be on learning to feel confident in skills outside of a knot.

​

Prerequisites: You have taken at least 1 session of an aerial silks class and can do 5 basic positions in an aerial knot, footlocks on both sides, and can invert in an aerial knot.

Aerial Silks 2 focuses on improving inverts in the air, linking skills together in footlocks, basic drops and aerial endurance. Over the course of the session you will develop increased core and upper body strength and a solid foundation in aerial technique. Mastering the fundamentals is the fastest and safest way to keep learning new skills!

Prerequisites: Pervious aerial silks experience. Able to invert in the air, can do a hipkey from the ground, knows footlock moves and sequences, can climb the silks.


 

This class is for advanced aerial silk students. Students should be comfortable climbing, being in the air for several minutes, be able to invert in the air and be comfortable with several different types of drops.  This class will focus on a variety of drops and a wide variety of skills and poses and linking sequences together, as well as plenty of conditioning to make it all easier in the long run! As an advanced class the direction of the class will be partly based on the goals of the students.
