Silks Classes


Silks/Hammock

Aerial Silks, or tissue, are two long pieces of soft fabric that hang from a single point. Hammock is a fabric or rope trapeze that can be hung from a single or double point. Using strength, grace and flexibility, you climb the fabric and move your body into amazing and beautiful poses. Drops and Slides are an exciting and fun part of learning this skill.

What You'll Do in Class

Classes are available as 1 hour group class, 1 hour private lesson, or group class of up to 2 hours. 2 hour group classes are limited to 4 students; when only 2 students enroll the class time is shortened to 1.5 hours, and for one student it is 1 hour. The classes include a warm up, strength training, conditioning tips, and stretching. You'll learn at your own pace and interest level. Beginners will focus on proper body position, muscle usage, climbing techniques, and basic drops. More advanced students will learn more difficult skills and drops as well as choreography and artistry. As your strength and confidence increase, you'll be amazed at what you are capable of doing.

What to Wear

It is important to wear clothing that covers the back of your knees and under your arms. You will want a shirt that can be tucked in to give your back protection. Tighter fitting clothing that gives you full range of motion is best.
