Intro to Silk

Bria Rose & Chris Velasquez

Friday, 5 pm @ The Aviary

An introduction to Aerial Silks, building a strong foundation in basic climbs, locks, and poses.

This workshop provides an introduction to Aerial Silks. We will work within the fabric to get you comfortable being in the air and going upside down. It focuses on building the initial foundation of climbs, locks, and poses, with the goal of inversions in mind. Please bring clothing that covers the back of the knee and the mid drift for a more comfortable experience.
