This is my 1st aerial silks video...used more as a learning tool for myself. It shows you what I've been able to accomplish in just 7 classes at the Blue Lapis Light studio. I can do the moves, but am lacking the grace and elegance. Around minute 3:38, I have to thread the fabric through my shoulders (my silk was really, really long!), so I cut bits of that out, and my pants also slid down a bit after the roll, so I had to hike them up. Yeah, it's that grace factor that I need to work on. Enjoy! :)

  • yameyameyame: I don't know of any directory of classes.  What area are you in? I know that some aerial silks classes are offered through circus schools, and others are offered more as a dance type of course. I do know that Seattle and Denver have a lot of schools, though. It makes me tempted to move ;)

  • Thanks, everyone :)

    cadbury 1986: music is "The State of the Union" by Thievery Corporation.

    babygotblown: I don't have any experience in dance or gymnastics at all. I'm actually quite clumsy when it comes to dancing on the floor. The experience that helped me was rock climbing (upper body strength, balance on something vertical, and getting rid of any fear of heights). You can really tell the difference if someone has a background in dance- their movements are more fluid and beautiful.

  • @mumsawas There is a directory of aerial classes! It's on AerialDancing(dot)com. If you see one that's not on there, let me know. ...There are a lot in Colorado (Boulder and Denver), California, and Seattle area.

  • That trick u did from the splits is really cool! I can do the whirlybird bird which is very similar

  • POINTE YOUR FEET!!!!

  • I've taken about 7 classes and I can't do an inversion in the air like that! You're also much more graceful than me :)
