Aerial Arts


Aerial Silk: With the strength of a superhero and the grace of a dancer, aerialists transform an ordinary piece of fabric into a unique aerial art form. In true circus fashion aerialists craft a story with each performance as they climb, wrap, spin and drop to choreographed movements. Let’s be honest the stronger muscles and increased flexibility are just a bonus.
