Silks, also known as aerial fabric, are two long pieces of soft fabric that hang from a single point. Students will learn climbs, positions, inversions, and drops tailored to their individual skill and fitness level. Students will gain strength and confidence as they learn to safely and beautifully manipulate the fabric to move into a variety of poses.
Our youth classes are open to students of all experience levels and movement backgrounds. They are particulary tailored for the learning experience of younger students and are taught by instructors with significant experience working with youth.
For students under age 14, an adult is required to be present in the facility during class.
