Aerial Silks near you

Aerial silks — sometimes "tissu" — is the aerial art performed on two long lengths of suspended fabric that you climb, wrap, pose and drop from. It is a strength-and-grace discipline, serious grip, core and upper-body work wrapped in something that looks beautiful, and it is the most popular aerial apparatus studios rig alongside their poles. It suits people who want an aerial challenge, love the artistry of climbing and dropping, and do not mind starting from the ground up. Expect your hands and forearms to work hard, expect to learn wraps and foot-locks carefully before any drop, and expect the same body-positive, build-it-slowly ethos that pole runs on. The 355 studios below teach aerial silks classes — use the map to find the closest one, or browse by state.

Style labels come from each studio's own website and students' reviews; class schedules and formats change, so check the studio's timetable before you go.
