Aerial Fabric

Fabric (aka Aerial Silks) is one of the most popular aerial arts. In Fabric classes, students will have the opportunity to explore being up in the air while developing strength, confidence, and creativity. By learning methods for climbing, tying knots, creating tension, and wrapping the fabric, students will learn to execute multiple tricks and to create sequences. Initially, we’ll work just off the ground, and will move higher in the air as students progress. Never been upside-down before? No problem! Everyone is welcome and no specific strength or prior experience is required for Level 1. All silks classes will incorporate lessons for strength and coordination as well as injury prevention.
