Raise your expectations...
Aerial silks is a stunning "dance" where performers use suspended fabric to climb, twist, pose, and drop in an art form that builds incredible strength and coordination.
Mountain Shadows Aerial Silks has been offering progressive programs for adults, teens, and youth ages 8 and up since 2015. In ongoing classes, students both learn to perform in the silks and build the strength, flexibility, and endurance to master more advanced skills.
Aerial Silks is hard...and incredibly rewarding when practiced as part of a community of developing artists who support and cheer you on as you train. As an aerialist, you'll not only build impressive strength - but also the confidence that comes from knowing you can both take on and acheive challenging goals.
Aerial Silks for Adults, Teens, and Kids
Silks Classes
Most ongoing classes meet twice a week and follow a curriculum that focuses on developing silks skills alongside conditioning both in and out of the fabrics to help you build the necessary physical strength and flexibility required. Unlike many other aerial studios, we don't allow drop in training, so you work in class with a committed group of aerialists who grow and support each other consistenly. Our students progress faster without being slowed down by an ever-changing roster of different students with vastly different skill and experience levels.
Youth Programs
With programs for youth ages 8 and up, you can see your child shine as they learn to love their body for what it can "do" - not just what it looks like. Our youth students build unshakable confidence right along with physical strength as they discover just how much they are capable of. Our youth program offers training at more advanced levels when your aerialist has mastered the fundamentals and is ready for new challenges.
Performance Opportunities
Once youth and adults reach a Level 2 or higher program, they are eligible to participate in performance opportunities like our annual Student Showcase or auditioning for roles in collaborative productions with our partner, Springs Dance. Performing is incredibly rewarding and is the highlight of many of our students' silks training.
