AERIAL SILK COURSE: DANCE IN THE AIR

The aerial silk discipline finds its origins in the circus world: a double suspended soft fabric is used to create with the body static positions and dynamic figures in the air.

 

This introductory course will begin with some warming up and muscle strengthening, followed by the teaching of different ascent techniques and figures, from the basic to more complicated ones, to end up with some stretching.

 

One of the main goals to achieve through the training is to be able to make the beauty of this discipline your own; beauty which is made of strength and grace, balance and improvisation, to create a perfect dance in the air.

 

Once you learn the basics, you can combine them as you like: this discipline is an art form, and creativity is one of the main aspects that make it so.
At each ascent, the body shapes itself and finds new ways of expression, of moving in space. Over time the simple static positions become dynamic, flying sequences of shapes, to make way for imagination and freedom of movement.
