What Is Aerial Silks?
Aerial silks is a beautiful and empowering aerial art where you climb, wrap, and move through long lengths of fabric suspended from the ceiling. Using strength, balance, and creativity, you’ll learn how to lift yourself off the ground, explore graceful poses, dramatic drops, and flowing sequences that feel equal parts athletic and artistic.
Our silks classes focus on building strength and confidence at your own pace. You don’t need any prior aerial or dance experience to start — just a willingness to try something new. We break skills down step by step, offering modifications and progressions so everyone can feel successful, supported, and challenged.
Aerial silks is a full-body workout that improves core strength, upper body power, flexibility, and body awareness — all while having a ridiculous amount of fun. Whether your goal is fitness, creative expression, or simply trying something totally different, silks offers a chance to reconnect with your body in a powerful and playful way.
Frequently Asked Questions
What to know before attending an aerial silks class.
Do I need any experience to start?
Nope! All of our beginner classes are designed for people who have never touched silks before. Just bring an open mind and a sense of adventure.
What if I’m nervous to try?
Totally normal! Many students feel the same way their first time. Our instructors create a supportive, no-judgment environment so you can relax and have fun.
Can I just drop in, or do I need to commit?
You’ve got options! Try a single class with a one-time pass, grab a class pack if you’d like a block of visits, or join with a membership for the best value if you plan to come regularly.
Do I need to be strong or flexible?
Not at all. You’ll build strength and flexibility as you go. Most of our students start as complete beginners.
What if I have an injury or physical restriction?
You know your body best, and we encourage you to listen to it. Let your instructor know about any restrictions before class, and they’ll help you modify movements so you can stay safe while still enjoying the experience.
What should I wear to class?
In aerial silks more coverage with tighter fit clothing is best, as this will help you avoid rope burns and bruises. Barefoot or grippy/yoga socks are recommended as normal socks tend to be slippery.
Typical workout gear will work for all lessons that we offer. Please wear what you are comfortable with.
Leave the Jewelry at home. Rings, bracelets, anklets, necklaces and even earrings can scratch the apparatuses and pose a safety risk to you if they get caught.
Please do not wear street shoes past the front door and socks are always optional.
Is there an age or weight limit?
Most of our classes (with the exception of Pole) are designed for 14+ years of age, and participants under 18 must have their parent register them and sign a waiver.
We do have youth aerial silks classes, which include age 6-13.
Our aerial silks are rigged to hold up to 5,000LBS! We take safety very seriously and all of our rigging far exceeds typical recommendations for the industry.
Inspection of all our equipment is preformed before each class to ensure the safety of our students.
