About This Activity
Description
This intermediate-level class is designed for students with prior aerial experience who are ready to refine their technique and build strength, control, and fluidity in the air. Students will work on more advanced climbs, wraps, and inversions while developing sequencing skills and smooth transitions between movements. Emphasis will be placed on proper technique, body awareness, and aerial endurance to create dynamic and expressive aerial work. This class provides a supportive environment for students to challenge themselves while continuing to build confidence and artistry on aerial fabric. Prerequisite: Students should have prior experience in silks and be comfortable with basic climbs, foot locks, and inversions.
A waiver must be signed before participating in the first class.
Please note, Aerial Silks enrollment comes with a NO REFUND and NO MAKE UP class requirement due to the equipment required. Once a student is enrolled they are responsible for the full tuition for that session, regardless of any other circumstances.
