Aerial Silks Classes
Duration: 1-hour
Ages: 10 and up (including ADULTS)
*9 year olds- Assessment required if there is availability
To ensure the highest level of safety and individualized attention, we maintain a low student-to-instructor ratio of 5:2, with a maximum of five students per class.
Each class is led by a lead flight instructor and always supported by a flight assistant. While the industry standard in aerial arts is typically a 6:1 ratio—sometimes extending to 8:1 and often without additional assistance, similar to what you may find at other studios or gyms—we intentionally exceed those standards.
We believe aerial silks is a highly specialized discipline with an increased level of risk, requiring more individualized attention and a higher level of instructor support to ensure both safety and proper skill development.
By keeping class sizes small and providing additional instructional support, we are able to:
Prioritize safety above all else
Support each student’s individual pace
Effectively integrate multiple skill levels within the same class
Reduce turnover, allowing for stronger connections and consistency
Help students excel more efficiently in both skill and technique
Each class is one hour in duration and thoughtfully structured to include:
Stretching
Mild conditioning
Warm-up
Skill work and review
Practice time
End-of-class improvisation
Classes also incorporate routines and sequences designed to build endurance, stamina, and creativity. Students learn how to connect skills and transition between them, using their creativity to begin building their own routines.
Students have the opportunity to perform in our optional aerial showcases, held in both the spring and fall. These performances provide an inspiring and supportive environment where students can bring their skills to life.
Developing routines helps students:
Understand and create choreography on the silks
Transition smoothly between skills
Perform with intention and confidence
Build endurance and stamina
Strengthen muscle memory
Reinforce retention of wraps and pathways
We continually challenge students to execute skills with control, confidence, and proper technique.
Above all, we prioritize quality over quantity, ensuring every skill is performed safely, consistently, and with confidence
