Aerial Silks (Stockton)

Activity Description

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. In our classes we ensure no one struggles to achieve even as a complete beginner, and there are a wide range of moves we will teach even to complete beginners as they build strength for climbs.

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.
