Class Descriptions

Our Aerial Silks Skill Development Classes provide new and experienced students with a specially-developed curriculum that can transform beginners into performing aerialists! Every student starts by learning foundational basics that develop strength and body awareness in the air. This curriculum allows students to progress at their own pace.
 
Are you a beginner wanting to get better? Are you an experienced student wanting to learn new things? Then these classes are for you!
 
 Knots A and B and Sling
  • Designed for students who are new to fabrics
  • New students MUST start at the beginning of the month or after a Try Me Class
  • Begins with basic, foundational skills on the knotted silks / hammock
  • Builds strength and conditioning
  • Advances through new poses and sequences as the student gets stronger 
  • Teaches students to climb the vertical hanging silks (no knot or hammock)
  • From the safety of a knot, this class prepares students to perform without the knot
 
Beginning Two Tails
  • Designed for students who have completed Knots A and B classes
  • Students must be able to climb to the top of the silks before they can take this class
  • Teaches the fundamentals of vertical hanging silks, including single and double foot locks
  • Introduces inversions
 
Intermediate and Advanced Two Tails

Fabric / Knot
Most of our classes are for aerialists of all levels, and allow students working in knots to learn alongside students working on two tails. Each student works at his or her own level and pace.
  • A mixed level class working with the aerial fabrics.  
 
Open Gym
Open gym time is available for current students to practice the skills they have been taught in class. This time can be used to work on choreography and sequencing routines together. An instructor is present during open gyms for safety and technical assistance but will not be teaching any new skills.
