In this class we work on fun flows and transitions at the base of the pole while wearing socks to make our feet slide effortlessly between each movement. With the popularity of flow style growing this is a great class to take for anyone looking to level up their flow skills and learn to create beautiful base work flows and movements.
This workshop is suitable for a mixture of levels. Most movements are from up right but having a basic invert could be useful for some movements.

Split Level Classes: This is a split level curriculum class which means there may be students from the Beginner and Intermediate Aerial Silks curriculum levels in this class. If you are not sure what level you are at, please speak to your instructor or inquire with reception before registering. All students in split level classes will receive individualized instruction at their current level. See the Beginner and Intermediate 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 the 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.
Intermediate Silks: Intermediate Aerial Silks represents an important transition point in a student's fabric journey. Students will begin to transition away from footlock based skills and develop their strength in knee hook and hipkey positions. Moving up and building on the skills and strength built in Beginner Silks, students in Intermediate Silks will work on moving skills up into the air, training their aerial inversions, learning more intricate wraps, and begin to work on introductory drops. Student’s fabric theory knowledge will expand greatly as they learn new wraps from the knee hook and hipkey positions as well as some completely novel positions. All students are unique and progress at their own pace, generally students should expect to spend 4-8 months minimum in the Intermediate Silks level.
