INTRO TO SILKS (101) 

New to aerial arts or curious to try Silks for the first time?

 

Intro to Silks builds the foundation for everything you’ll do in the air: Strength, flexibility & confidence. You’ll learn basic climbs, foot locks, and beginner poses while developing the grip and core strength that make aerial movement both safe & fun. Each class focuses on clean technique, safe progressions, and smooth transitions, helping you feel strong, supported, and ready to rise. Whether you’re a complete beginner or brushing up your skills, Intro to Silks is the perfect place to start.

 

Pre-Requisites:  NONE! 

All are welcome.

 


 

SILKS 1

Silks Level 1 is designed for advanced beginners who are ready to build strength, confidence, and technique on the fabric. This class introduces the essential building blocks of proper aerial form — including wraps, drops, sequences, and flow. Newer students will focus on mastering inversions, cross-back straddles, catcher wraps, hip key sequences, and s-wraps. Returning students will continue refining their skills while developing endurance, clean transitions, and longer air time through progressive conditioning and choreography. Weekly attendance is encouraged to support continuous learning and steady progress, but drop-ins are always welcome for those with scheduling flexibility.

 

Pre-Requisites:

 

Demonstrate the ability to:

 

Execute foot locks on both sides

 Invert comfortably from ground

Climb the silks to the top.

 


 

SILKS 1 & UP

Ready to elevate your Silks practice to new heights? 

Silks Level 1+ is designed for students who have a solid foundation in Silks and are eager to continue building strength, technique, and creativity in the air. This class bridges the gap between beginner and intermediate levels — perfect for those who have completed Silks 101 or Silks Level 1 and want to explore more dynamic wraps, drops, and transitions. You’ll refine your climbing technique, develop clean inversions, and work on linking movements into fluid sequences that challenge both strength and artistry. Our instructors emphasize safe progressions, strong form, and mindful movement — helping each student grow confidently at their own pace.

Complete a minimum of five Silks1 classes OR demonstrate:

 

–  6 unassisted pull-ups (no jumping);
