Mixed Level Classes: This is a mixed level curriculum class which means there may be students from the Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced Silks levels in this class. Students registering for mixed level classes should be aware that a high level of independence will be required as they work on their assigned movements while the instructor works with other students. All students in mixed level classes will get individualized instruction but should be prepared to work safely on their own while the instructor assists other students. Mixed classes are a great place for students who are nearing the end of one level but are not quite sure they are ready to progress to the next level or for students who want to be exposed to students at different levels! See the Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Silks level descriptions for more information about each level.
Beginner Silks: Beginner Aerial Silks is the next step in a students journey after Intro to Fabric if they decide to join the Aerial Silks stream of curriculum. Students will learn to tie footlocks, climb the silks, and begin to work on unsupported inverts and hipkeys as appropriate. Students will transfer some of their hammock poses to the footlock, while expanding their vocabulary substantially to include skills on double skills footlocks, single silks footlocks, inverted skills, and some fun extras! The idea of fabric theory is introduced and students will learn body flags and many variations. All students are unique and progress at their own pace, generally students should expect to spend 4-8 months minimum in the Beginner Silks level.
