Aerial Silks

Learn the ancient circus art of aerial silks
Have you seen performers who look as though they float in mid-air with silk ribbons from shows such as The Cirque Du Soleil? Now you too can learn the skill with aerial silks classes in Derby.

Who is it for?
Silks classes are for everyone including beginners, though we recommend attending a few pole sessions or the strength and flexibility course to build your strength beforehand - this is NOT essential.

What's involved?
This aerial silks course teaches you how to work with your own body height, shape and weight in the air. It's great for toning up the gluteal (bum), abdominal (tummy), back and arms. We focus on improving your motor skills such as balance, coordination and flexibility through the legs and back (teaching you arches' and splits). Eventually you will be able to dance as though you are floating on air!

What do I wear?
Any comfortable clothing that fits close to the skin and is non-restrictive to your movements is recommended. Long sleeved tops and long bottoms are a must. Bare feet are recommended.

How much does it cost?
A six week course is £60 and advanced booking is essential. If you can only attend five lessons the course will be £52, four lessons will be £45, or you can pay £15 per single session. Unfortunately for this course if you do not attend a booked class there will be no transferring of monies to future sessions. The course covers silks hoop and trapeze although if there is one you want to work on more we can accommodate this.
