Silks Classes


Silks

Aerial silks, or tissue, are two long pieces of soft and often stretchy fabric that hang from a single point. Using strength, grace and flexibility, you climb the pieces of fabric and move your body into amazing and beautiful poses. Drops and rolls are an exciting and fun part of learning silks.

What You'll Do in Class

Classes are 1 hour long and are available as private lessons or group sessions. Group classes are limited to 3 students. The classes include a warm up, strength training and conditioning tips, and stretching. You'll learn at your own pace and interest level. Beginners will focus on proper body position and muscle usage. You will learn climbing techniques as well as some basic inversions, holds, and drops. More advanced students will learn more difficult moves, like big drops and triple rolls down the fabric. As your strength and confidence increase, you'll be amazed at what your body is capable of doing.

What to Wear

Long stretch pants and a tight-fitting top are suggested. Shorts are not recommended since your legs should be protected from the fabric, and loose clothing may get in the way of the fabric.
