What is "aerial silk"?
Aerial silk is a type of aerial performance where a performer uses two long pieces of fabric, called silks, which are suspended from the ceiling. The performer climbs, wraps, and performs various acrobatic moves and tricks while hanging or balancing on the silks. Aerial silk acts showcase the performer’s strength, flexibility, and grace as they create visually stunning shapes and movements while suspended in the air. This type of performance is commonly featured in circus acts and contemporary dance shows.
