Syllabus:
Our professionally qualified and passionate teachers create lessons using our bespoke syllabus of moves. Lessons are levelled from Beginners – Advanced to offer clear progression and structured and safe development of skills. The syllabus ensures that our classes will challenge, encourage safe progression, and motivation to progress at a pace which is right for the student. There is no pressure to work through our syllabus at any pace other than that which is right for you.
As students achieve moves at each level they are awarded with a certificate of completion of the level and then invited to progress to work on moves from the next syllabus level. This helps motivation as students can monitor their own progress.
There are 6 levels of our syllabus and our classes indicate which levels of the syllabus you can learn in which class. An introduction of what you can expect to learn at each level is listed below.
Routines:
As well as moves we also teach routines every term, encouraging students to apply their knowledge of moves to perform in succession to music. Here is an example of a class performing a routine learnt at our studio:
Level 1, Beginners & Level 2, Amateurs Aerial Silks classes are great for those brand new to aerial silks and those who have some basic knowledge. They include learning basic skills and foundation moves with the silks, include routines using foundation moves and transitions. They are open to all levels, shapes and sizes, no aerial or strength experience is necessary to start training with this equipment. These include our level 1 and 2 Aerial silks syllabus moves.
Level 3, Intermediate & Level 4, Advanced Intermediate Aerial Silks classes are ideal for students with confidence in the basic aerial moves and are ready to focus on more challenging tricks and combinations. The classes will use skills and combinations to build towards routines. Classes may also include technique and creative/choreography work. These lessons teach from our level 3 and 4 Aerial Silks Syllabus of moves.
Level 5 Advanced, & Level 6 Elite Aerial Silks classes are designed for students who are confident at all levels of aerial silks. Drops, tricks, transitions which require a very high level of strength, skill and knowledge of aerial silks are taught at our level 5 and 6 level aerial silks classes.
Frequently Asked Questions about Aerial Silks Classes
What do I wear to Aerial Silks Classes?
We recommend tight fitting clothes which cover arms and legs for aerial silks, but are also suitable to move and exercise in. If you wear a vest top, Please bring a long sleeved top to prevent chafe as some moves require the silk to pass under your armpit. Please do not wear any jewellery and hair must be tied back. We wear bare feet or socks in aerial silks class. As you progress to intermediate levels we recommend a leotard, however not essential at beginner level.
