Aerial silks are one of the most recognisable and classical pieces of aerial circus apparatus, as well as the most challenging. Aerial silks appear to be two long, thick ribbons of material upon which you can execute beautiful climbs, drops and poses while building upper body strength.
Silks are our only vertical apparatus, this adds an extra element of strength as there are few resting places between or during poses, and to perform on silks you must first learn to climb and invert at height. Silks offer unparalleled versatility once climbs and basic inverts are mastered.
This is our improvers level class, please see our Wednesday evening session for adult beginners aerial silks. Please speak to Kelly in class or email [email protected] if you are unsure which group would best suit your experience level.
Equipment is shared between no more than 2 people to guarantee plenty of practice time during our classes. In this group we will offer lots of modifications and variations on each pose to suit all abilities, ensuring no student feels left behind, while continuing to challenge and develop more experienced aerial students.
Teens 11+ are welcome with a participating adult over the age of 18, and 16+ may attend unaccompanied, however this is an adult class and under 16s may not attend unaccompanied. Our aerial arts classes have a 21 stone/133kg weight limit.
This is a dynamic physical class, please get in touch if you have a health condition that could limit your participation, or consider our aerial yoga classes which are less strenuous as a starting point for entry to aerial arts. If you are reasonably fit and healthy (able to climb stairs, lift a heavy box, walk unaided then this class should suit most people but you will work hard!). This class is not suitable to begin if you have active current vertigo, herniated or bulging spinal disks, glaucoma, arthritis which significantly limits your grip, are currently pregnant or are within 6 weeks of giving birth.
We pride ourselves on being an inclusive studio and welcome students beyond these safety limitations regardless of body type, fitness levels, physical limitations or disabilities or other restrictions. A free carers place is available for anyone who requires assistance to access our classes and is in receipt of middle or higher rate DLA or PIP. Please get in touch to discuss how we can ensure our classes are inclusive of your needs.
