I'm creating an aerial silks performance with a partner for dance and we decided on a cat and mouse chase theme, however we've been stuck on what song we can use!!! I've asked other people but all the songs they recommend are wayyy too long or fast imo.. what are some good options preferably between 1:30 mins - 2:30 min cheeky and playful???
Hi Aerial artists, I haver a show in a short time and I am realizing that lots of climbs I usually do and like (like inversion and clutching the silk with the opposite leg) require so much energy and I feel out of breath when I just arrive on the top of the silk and I'd have to start the sequence.
Would you have any recommendations of a climb that looks good for a show and is impressive but still doesn't kill my stamina? (Videos of other shows are welcome!)
Also: how did you improve your stamina on silks? Any tips apart from trying the whole sequence many times?
Thank you in advance!
I acknowledge that I do not own copyrights to the music played in this video. The images are me, genuinely.
There was a time when I thought …
certain dreams had an expiration date.
That movement belonged to younger bodies.
That courage belonged to other women.
That flying belonged to people without fear.
But at 53… I’m choosing to fly anyway. ✨
Every climb carried my prayers.
Every pose carried my perseverance.
Every shake in my muscles reminded me that strength is not perfection — it’s persistence.
I am not trying to become younger.
I am becoming freer... more of who I am designed to be💙
To every woman over 50 who feels invisible, uncertain, tired, or “too late”…
Your story is NOT over.
Your body is still capable of beauty.
Your spirit is still worthy of wonder.
And you are still allowed to rise. 🕊️

I can not believe that it has just been a year and a half since I fell in love with this sport. I am just so happy and proud of myself - starting this hobby as an adult and achieveing this at 29 years old. My early twenties me could never 😅
It is never to late to start, life with aerial is so much better 💜💜
21 year old girl with not much upper body strength to preface. (Cant even get up into straddle without help or doing it my own weird way) So I've only had 4 aerial silks beginner classes, once a week, every week for 4 weeks. My grip has begun to hurt so bad, I wake up every day and I can't move my hands without them hurting. Even after stretching they hurt throughout the day. I think I can see my knuckles inside and they're bruised or something, they're blue (not sure if they were that way before i never payed attention lol) and it hurts to curl my fingers every day, and it doesn't go away even after a week. Also, last time I was in wrist lock I burst a bunch of capillaries in my hands so the back of my hands looked like I had red/blue freckles all over, they were just burst capillaries. Is there anything I can do, do I need to take a break from classes? Or will my strength improve and the pain eventually go away? Idk what to do here.
I'd like to revisit this pose. The picture is of me back in 2019, unfortunately I don't have a video of the entry/exit. I've searched online without luck.
It looks to me as potentially coming from a Scorpion, then unwrapping/rewrapping one leg? Although I can't remember doing this...
Could it be from a split silk knee tangle?
Does anyone recognise this pose, and have a name/tutorial for it?
Any help appreciated!
Thank you in advance.
Looking for any and all tips for improving my tricks that start with a catchers hang. I am forever getting my hand stuck behind my knee and losing my grip before I manage to wrap anything properly. Please help a girl out!
Here is the update after taking everyone’s advice from the previous post I made! So I do think my form is better, and I didn’t get as nauseous this time, spotting the floor definitely helped with that. I’m now wondering though, if I’m spinning in the wrong direction? Because I lose my spin so quickly.
