In these 1 hour classes, you will focus on learning new skills and/or reviewing and perfecting technique. We recommend warming yourself up before the start of class. Classes include an aerial warm-up, but your personal floor warm-up will help you to execute class exercises safely. In Beginner classes, you will be given guided instruction for proper floor warm-ups.
All classes will conclude with body conditioning and/or stretching on the apparatus. Aerial classes have a maximum of 6 students to ensure sufficient time on the apparatus for each person. All Aerial classes are for ages 14 and up, but private lessons are available for younger students. Private lessons and semi-private lessons are available upon request through our office email, for more individual attention.
Silks
Silks, also called Fabric or Tissu, are one long piece of fabric attached in the middle to the ceiling to create two long tails. In this class you will learn to climb, invert in the air, and hang upside down. As you increase strength and comfort-level, you will learn sequences, drops, slides, and flips that allow you to descend the fabric with style and grace.
