Strength. Flexibility. Coordination. Creativity. Just a few of the many things a circus discipline has to offer. The aerial silks belong to the discipline of aerial acrobatics. But what are they exactly?
Acordingly to Wikipedia: it is a type of performance in which one or more artists perform aerial acrobatics while hanging from a specialist fabric. The fabric may be hung as two pieces, or a single piece, folded to make a loop, classified as hammock silks.

There is a lot of tricks you can do:

  • Drops
  • Climbs
  • Wraps
  • Figures
When you fly on the silks, it floods a magical sensation of fighting against gravity, of being agile like a bird. It is a really indescribable feeling.
