I know this is not POLE related but I need some help... Does anyone know of a studio near Tallahassee, Florida (near Panama City or Jacksonville) that teaches aerial silks?

I favor this post...I am looking for one in Indianapolis, IN- or close to there. Would possibly be interested in going back to Chicago for a weekend with the family for this one. ☀️
shame you're not in Wellington, New Zealand - we've just started up a silks class. to make you want to do it even more, here's our tutor performing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edOU5_mxDhk SHe also teaches our Burlesque class.

I'm going soon. I live in Richmond va and the closest one I've researched online is in D.C. Look up New York Trapeze School. Maybe they have more.

MAN! Last night I was doing a search on aerial stuff- to find out about home rigs and I came across a site that had some links. I wish I could remember. Try googling aerial silks or aerial hoop. Aerial arts seems to be going mainstream so even if you cannot get silks I'd suggest trapeze or aerial hoop/lyra.
I did an Aerial Silks workshop here in the UK a few weeks back. It's so much fun, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult! The amount of upper body strength required is immense. Going to do it again tho 😀
Me too!! I would LOVE to try out aerial silks! I can't find anything close to Indianapolis, IN 🙁 I favor this post...I am looking for one in Indianapolis, IN- or close to there. Would possibly be interested in going back to Chicago for a weekend with the family for this one. ☀️

if you can't find a place that does lessons, buy some and learn yourself! We don't have anyone that does them in the island I live on, so I bought some and am learning at the mo, and they aren't too expensive either! Plus there is a really good french book on how to do all the move / drops 😀

I'm going to aerial silks and trapeze class, but I'm from Spain, I can't help you, sorry. If anyone search class in MAdrid, Spain, I can help 😛
I am having my fiance install silks in the living room near my pole. If I wanna do silks I can take my pole down and vise versa. He is also going to put a static trapeze on the patio for me! I wish my parents had put me in circus when I was a kid. It seems like I am making up for lost time trying to do this now when I will be 30 in a couple of months!

How doy you install silks in your living room? I want do it too, I read that it is possible with bag swivel (boxing)
🥂 wow i looked at the Aerial silk video on you tube and also checked out a beautiful trapeze vid and isn't it amazing how simmilar they all are with pole akrobatics?? i mean anyone who thinks pole dancing isn't a sport like anything els we should definitly show them videos of trapezes and the silks no? 😉

cbr600girl - I know what you mean! LOL I'm 50 and take a pole class once a week. I took a trapeze workshop a few weeks ago and start a beginner's aerial silks class in November. My friends ask if I'm going to run away with the circus LMAO!

I have been taking Aerial classes since the second or third week of August and while I am not too good right now, I am seeing definite benefits with taking the class in conjunction with pole dancing. I am loving it. It's harder than pole but with Aerial arts you are required to use your strength because they move, so I am noticing that I have increased strength and stamina on the pole, plus some moves that I just couldn't do before I can.
I love silks - so pretty - I have been taking tissu lessons here and there but it is sooooooooo hard 🙂 I have also been taking aerial yoga - which is much easier but really great for getting good stretches in. There are lots of home aerial yoga units that you could look into online to maybe use as a starting point. Also there are a bunch of aerial groups or circus groups on Facebook you could join for info. plus here are a few links: Aerial Yoga Sling: http://www.omgym.com/ Aerial Arts Equipment: http://trapezerigging.com/AerialAccessories/ Aerial Equipment: http://www.aircat.net/Aerial/Equipment.html
http://www.aloftloft.com It's in Chicago, but it's amazing! They offer a free silks class the second Saturday of each month. I went to their free trapeze class and it's so much fun.
Glad to hear that Aloft is great! I've been wanting to try a silks class myself and everytime they offer the free taster class, I can't go bc I've already got something going on then! 🙁
