Introduction to Aerial Silks (Beginners) (Registration Required)

About this event

If you think you could never climb silks and get off the floor, this class is for you. No aerial experience is needed, just curiosity and a sense of adventure. We start with a light warm-up, then work on basic climbs, foot locks, and an introduction to inversions, with safe progressions at every step. Class ends with conditioning on the silks, take-home exercises to build strength between classes, and stretching. Along the way you’ll build upper-body and core strength, flexibility, coordination, and confidence in a supportive, fun environment. What to wear: a fitted top and leggings that fully cover your legs. Cotton or microfiber grips best; slick, swimsuit-style fabrics slide. Bare legs can get fabric burn, so shorts need footless tights underneath, and baggy clothing catches in the fabric. Bring a water bottle, plus a notebook and pencil to track your goals and progress. Already comfortable with climbs to the top, hip keys, and inversions? Take All Levels Aerial Silks instead. Good to know: Space is limited, so please register online at least 12 hours ahead. Class runs with a minimum of 2 students registered by then; otherwise it will be cancelled. Cancellations within 24 hours of class are charged in full.
