Levels

Intro to Silks

All students are required to first take Intro to Silks. In Intro to Silks you will learn all the basic locks and knots around the wrists and feet. You will learn to tie a knot and complete various shapes and sequences. Inversions in both knots and wrist locks are covered. Climbs are taught using multiple techniques. This all takes time and dedication! You will remain a student in the Intro course until your instructor passes you into Silks 1. Pro tip: wear leggings and a long sleeve shirt for this one!

Silks 1

Ready to take your circus dreams to new heights—literally?

Once you’ve mastered your wraps, knots, and basic climbs in Intro to Silks, you’ll graduate to Silks 1 where the magic really starts.

In Silks 1, you’ll focus on clean climbs and smooth descents, hip keys in the air, footlocks in the air (single and double), inversions in the air (in wrist locks and/or from a climb), introductory drops like salto or star drops in a knot, and developing short aerial sequences and transitions.

Students remain in Silks 1 while building the foundational strength and technique to safely invert and move through the air with control. You’ll level up to Silks 2 when your instructor feels you can execute these skills consistently with good form and body awareness.

Pro tip: Don’t forget to point your toes and breathe—it really helps!

Silks 2

Already flipping through the air like a Cirque star?

Then Silks 2 is where your journey continues! This level is for students who can invert in the air with control and confidently climb and descend with ease.

In Silks 2, you’ll explore more advanced drops like double star, slack drops, and momentum-based transitions. You’ll build aerial choreography and endurance sequences, learn multi-wrap skills and progressions like belay and crochet thread, explore complex entries and exits from footlocks and hip keys, and begin building transitions that flow between tricks seamlessly.

This class is about combining strength and grace, expanding your skill set, and unlocking the creativity of movement in the silks.

Pro tip: Keep a training journal—it helps to remember all those cool new wraps you're learning!
