Silks

Aerial silks is a circus discipline performed on two long pieces of fabric suspended from a single point. Artists use the silks to climb, wrap, hang, invert, drop, and create a wide variety of poses, transitions, and dynamic movements in the air.

It is known for combining strength, flexibility, coordination, and endurance. While it can look graceful and effortless, aerial silks is a physically demanding apparatus that challenges both technique and control.
