What to Wear
Clothing should be snug fitting and elastic but very comfortable and easy move around in. We suggest long tights, running tights, or dance tights paired with a snug top. No loose-fitting clothing, which is a hindrance on the apparatus, and no shorts, which don't protect your skin.

What are Silks?
Aerial silks, also known as tissu and fabric, are two long pieces of soft and often stretchy fabric that hang from a single point. Using strength, grace and flexibility, aerial artists climb the pieces of fabric and move into amazing and beautiful poses. Drops and rolls are an exciting and fun part of learning silks.
