It's a type of performance in which one or more artists perform
aerial acrobatics while hanging from a specialist fabric. Performers
climb the suspended fabric without the use of safety lines and rely only
on their training and skill to ensure safety. They use the fabric to
wrap, suspend, drop, swing, and spiral their bodies into and out of
various positions. Silks have been incorporated into the circus arts and
are practiced as a form of aerial fitness. Aerial silks is a demanding
art and requires a high degree of strength, power, flexibility, courage,
stamina, and grace to practice.
