aerial silks (ages 6-17) |

Aerial silks (also known as aerial fabric) is a magical circus art where performers climb, twist, and soar through the air using long, flowing fabrics. At West Coast Circus, we’ve created a fun and safe environment for kids to explore this exciting skill!

During lessons, your child will learn how to wrap, climb, and perform graceful movements in the air—all while building strength, flexibility, and confidence. Our fabrics are made from high-quality, durable materials designed for safety and ease of use.

Perfect for kids who love to move, play, and dream big, aerial silks is a unique way to stay active, creative, and empowered. Let your child take flight and discover the joy of circus arts!

Lessons are 55-85 mins in length and all lessons begin with a guided warm-up by the instructor to prepare and help to prevent injuries.

During a lesson new skills are taught, old skills are reviewed, put together and developed into acts for those that desire and work towards them.

In our constant effort to avoid injury, we conclude each lesson with a cool down which can include conditioning and/or stretching.
