Aerial Silks Classes in Kansas City

Find strength you didn’t know you had

Two long strands of fabric and a whole lot you can do with them. Silks is one of our two entry tracks, built for total beginners, with classes from $30.

I’ve been to three classes and I’m ready to join the circus.

Aerial silks class schedule

What happens in an aerial silks class

Every class starts with a warm-up, then one skill at a time. You’ll learn climbs and wraps close to the ground, and each new skill gets broken into parts until your body holds it. When it’s solid low, you take it higher.

Most students go upside down inside their first few weeks, which is usually the moment silks becomes the thing you think about on the drive home.

Aerial silks for beginners

Silks is one of two entry tracks at Voler, alongside aerial hoop. You don’t need strength to start, because the class is where the strength comes from. Levels build on each other at your pace, and your instructor moves you up when you’re ready. Trapeze and rope open up as you advance.

I had been looking for something fun and challenging (read NOT BORING) to add to my workout practice.

Where the strength sneaks in

Nobody does crunches here. The strength shows up anyway, built one climb and one hold at a time, while your attention is on the skill instead of the reps. Weeks in, you’ll catch your reflection mid-climb and wonder when that happened.

I’ve found more strength in myself than I knew I possessed…My first free-fall was ridiculously exhilarating, and I just can’t stop telling people that they HAVE to sign up for classes.

Aerial silks questions

No. Silks classes build the strength they ask for, one skill at a time. You’ll climb at whatever level your body offers on day one, and it offers more every week.
Honestly, sometimes the fabric pinches while your skin gets used to it. We don’t say hurting, we say sensational, and it fades as your grip and technique improve. Leggings that cover the backs of your knees help a lot.
Both are entry tracks and both welcome total beginners, so pick by feel. Silks is soft fabric that wraps and moves with you, and lyra is a steel hoop that gives you shapes to hold. Try one of each and let your body vote.
Yes. Our youth program runs aerial classes for ages 7 to 16, silks included, with the same taught-low-first approach paced for younger students. See the kids and teens page for ages and details.
Only as high as you’re ready for. Every skill is learned low, and you take it up when you’re confident, not when a schedule says so. Some students stay low for months, and that’s a fine way to fly.
