We will start close to the ground and once students are confident in their movements they will learn to climb and do tricks in the air. There are no prerequisites for this course. This course meets at the same time as the Youth Intro to Silks course. Families can enjoy a joint warm up together. Those who attend without children can do an adult warm up separately.

Each discipline will be taught in focused 2–4 week blocks, giving you time to develop a deeper understanding of its unique movement vocabulary while discovering how tricks and techniques can translate across different apparatuses. You’ll also benefit from working with a range of experienced instructors, each bringing their own expertise and style.

This is a rare chance to expand your aerial repertoire, challenge your body in new ways, and connect the dots between multiple aerial disciplines.
