This aerial fabric class explores 2 different apparatuses that can be used as a dance partner: Aerial Silks and Aerial Hammock (sometimes called Sling). Silks are 2 straight fabrics used to create shapes and routines on the ground and in the air. The hammock is a connected fabric that supports and lifts while offering skills similar to silks, making it a good first aerial apparatus to build strength for silks or lyra. Hammock is also its own discipline and can be just as challenging as the other forms as students advance. Students familiar with aerial hoop can expect to see familiar shapes and patterns on the fabric. Aerial Hoop and Aerial Fabrics are great complementary classes for well-rounded growth.
